Opinion: Bludget '08

Opinion: Bludget '08

Well, after perusing the latest offerings in the Federal Budget, we are not amused. Yeah, OK, they had to cough up the pre-election bribe of $31 billion in tax cuts, even though they are so paltry you couldn't buy a healthy lunch each day with the weekly savings. Too bad neither side had the gumption before the poll to take a punt on building a 21st century technology-based nation instead of extending the pork barrelling to every pay packet. Just for a few minutes, pause and think what could be done for the state of our broadband with $31bn. Staggering isn't it?
