gillard swan budget in disarray, page-8

That includes every working Australian, via their super. And unemployed via their welfare handouts. No, I guess they don't have to wear it, we taxpayers do.

No not EVERY Australian. My SMSF allows ME to decide what to invest my super in. SMSF becoming more and more popular. Just waiting for the government to reign it in (already have started with lower maximum amounts for how much an individual is allowed to voluntarily add each year - flying in the face of encouraging self sufficiency at retirement age). Our super will be the next thing this incomptent government attacks via higher taxes etc etc.

Government has already started making excuses for their budget. Lat month Swan warned of lower revenues from mining tax - remember the new $10bill black hole. Called it from day 1 though. Labor simply does not know how to curb spending. History shows that. That's why I laugh everytime I hear them say they will be in surplus by 2013. We all know they won't. They'd have much more respect if they just admitted that they don't believe in surpluses (which isn't necessarily a bad thing). But no, they're adamant. Just stick that to the long list of lies.
