On the surface, it seems like a fairly benign budget (certainly not the type we've become accustomed to in the lead up to an election) but it does seem to mark a point of inflexion in the government's finances. The reality that the boom was/is not the new normal seems to have taken hold in Canberra, finally.


I can't imagine the PAYG changes will be overly onerous on business owners. Even the most basic accounting software will spit out the numbers for you in a couple of seconds.


Business groups will complain about it because they complain about any red tape. Regardless of the actual burden it places on business.


More cuts, higher taxes. I continue to believe that will be the long term trend.
