The opening few pages appeals to the middle (upper mid) class persons with the 1% cut in the 80+ bracket. This will capture the hearts of many people listening to the budget, and have them on their side. Following from all the cuts and positives, they mention the "super tax" only as a minor point (1 liner) and only as a part of the recommendations not part of the actual formal budget. They finish with more positives in the form of super.
Smoke n mirrors well played. The person who organised the presentation of the budget was a smart negotiator, to the detriment of us all.
