2025 BUDGET – A BALMAIN BUDGET BRAIN BURP

Like the tie you put on as you race out the door, is the 2025 Labor Budget.

If only the Labor Government would care for those dealing with a cost-of-living crisis like they care for those wheeling and dealing in the intermittent power swindle. 

What is the hope offered for the grandmother who can no longer afford to stay in her house?

There is no real attempt to deal with the structural disaster of the supply of power, which in turn has taken money from her wallet and walked her to the front door. Minister Bowen militantly continues his crusade against the great unwashed who should know better, to him. 

This is the budget one has when they did not think they would have to provide a budget. For the New England, we got no dams, no new roads, no new mobile phone towers and no new medical facilities. But we are getting new intermittent power precincts littered all over our land. 

Labor has no new funding for the Stronger Communities program, Local Roads and Community Infrastructure program, Growing Regions Program, and the Regional Precincts and Partnership program, all of which are critical to building community infrastructure in regional Australia.
