and I would add:
spending for military expense per se: we need to be able to defend ourself, but I see the big tickets which came lately as useless for that:
submarines (to do what? unless you have nuclear heads in on board missiles, a submarine is a useless toy with very limited fire power and a very high cost )
figher jets: we just bought fighers which if leaving brisbane would not be able to go to cape york and back , or just..
what for???
switch this into drones for surveillance , awacs systems for long range alert and get hundreds of ground to air top of the range missile if we feel threatened..
ahhh but that can not be usefull in irak /afghanistan..

yet a few tweak there would have EASILY saved a few billions AND have actually increased our defence capacity...
so my anger to this budget, that plus the on going NDIS/parental leave and super rort for currentretiree
