The budget comes out every year and bores me to tears. I pay no attention because it doesn’t directly affect me from week to week. I still pay bills, buy groceries, pay rent etc etc The budget is basically a huge list of lies

Graphs and tables are one of the best visual tools for people to understand number’s and statistics clearly. Good article.

Wow great Easy to understand information

Thanks for making it a little easier to read.

I hope we can move more towards a support for those that need it and away from what’s in it for me.

Budgets always confuse me. A lot if the time, the benefits don’t come into affect for many months, in that time you have a change of govt, and they change everything anyway

Us low income earners need all the help we can get

A budget that does not inspire me – concerns about health and education and timeframes.

  The Space Agency funding is interesting and an article and segment on this was most illuminating regarding potential jobs.

Thank you for an easy to read summary.

I love the fact that the budget will help people with low- and middle-income.

  Yes we are one of those with my husband the only one on an income and myself looking after 5 kids at home

Important indeed that the benefits reach everyone. Glad they work at that strategically.

Overall I am happy with this budget – it won’t help or hinder me I will stay the same but for the economy of Australia I think it’s a step in the right direction.

Great help for the low- and middle-income earners. I like that!
