wa budget grim, says treasurer, page-23

Thats your opinion about where the spending is moony nothing to say it's correct.
Now the WA government is racking up debt ahead of income at a much greater rate than even the federal government.
They are also breaking election promises.
Almost nothing from you about this.

And as to the federal coalition they have recently admitted they will not be returning the budget to surplus anytime in the foreseeable future. When I look at what they have so far announced they will do it's all tax cuts and spending so one can only conclude that the budget position will deteriorate further under them as income decreases while spending increases or at best remains steady if they sack a few public servants.
