Sure he'd be involved but it's really the treasurer's doing.

After promising there would be no cuts to services they went ahead and did exactly that.

Did Abbott go off message or did treasury just not listen ? Maybe because they had a walloping majority they thought they'd just get away with it ?

One of the main reasons that the COALition had such a big win was because Labor was so bad. Rather than the COALition being any good.

They may have thought they were invincible ? l have no doubt that if Turnbull hadn't replaced Abbott they would've been a one term government.

can you imagine any PM not having a significant impact or knowing everything that went into the budget not having a solid material involvement in budget decision-making?

its the key ministerial matter and affects all other departments.

but yes, the basic stuff would have been drawn up by Hockey/Corrman. but the PM always must sign off on every measure.
