alp (57.5%) surges to lead over l-np (42.5%), page-101

Longhow, Hockey' s first budget combined with his proficiency to explain it under a barrage of pathetic and deliberate misinformation is the mark of his performance. I wouldn't make the point unless his position as treasurer (rather than politician) was front and centre!

The well orchestrated social media campaign (which main media now follow) will run it course. Hockey is there each and every day breaking down the arguments which have been based on deliberate lies. He has been succinct and consistent in his approach so I believe people will eventually understand the budget and its economic reality.
