    What's not specified is what will be cut.

    Will Ley's CUTs-CUTs-CUTs include:
    . Accelerated depreciation for the filthy fossil fuel sector?
    . Rebates for dirty diesel fuels for filthy fossil fuel companies and farmers?
    . Business incentives, subsidies, low interest loans, concessions, ....
    . Taxpayer-funded elitist 'private schools'?
    . Allowing business people to claim business class airfares as tax deductions?
    . Access to superannuation for wealthy Australians?
    . Taxpayer subsidised property 'investment' [negative gearing]?
    . And scores of other handouts to the out-stretched hands of 'business' and the oh-so-wealthy who need oh-so-much-more.

    Or will we see a repeat of Tony Abbott's 2014 Budget that attacked battlers and a new version of Scomo's Robodebt?
