It will be interesting to watch how it plays out, that's for sure.
Labor in government would let bracket creep do its work for it. That's what concerns Martin Parkinson.
If Labor's tactic in blocking spending cuts (including its own) to force the current government to increase marginal tax rates, that will be a win for Labor. This government I suspect won't go down that path beyond its temporary levy. Instead, it will allow the budget numbers to speak for themselves to continue to argue its case and against Labor's resistance in the Senate.

Doc, the Green/Labor left wing socialists are executing their Fabian Society ideology to ruin the the Australian economy.
Reference my post #143....Communism is not dead and buried.
Julia Gillard
Julia Gillard, PM of Australia, and self-confessed Communist that morphed into the Fabian Society
Julia Gillard and her comrades have done everything precisely by the Fabian book. They have got into the corridors of power using honeyed words and big promises, as well as knifing their only obstacle in the back.Once in power they have ruthlessly, but quietly, gone about imposing their socialist aims on a population powerless to act against them. We have been disarmed. We have no way to determine how we are governed. The Fabianists dictate what laws we are ruled by. We are spied on (cameras everywhere today). The press, that pillar of our social fabric, has let us down and succumbed to the bullying politicians. Instead of standing up for the rights of the common man, they have surrendered their power to those in power. They have left We the People totally exposed to the depredations of the wolves in sheep’s clothing.
Bill Shorten, Chris Bowen and Jenny Macklin are following in Gillards foot prints.
What a rant of coddswallop. Non of those people are in power.
What is Tony the friendly gorilla doing about all those grievances you have.
If the budget had introduced an effort to bring about meaningful tax reform then I'd be all over Labor for not supporting it, but the budget was really about the current Government's ideology and will do little to actually structurally adjust the budget to better cope with a falling participation rate and the rise of aged pension costs.
Strange how this is presented as the government failing to sell the budget well

plod, it is regrettable, you just will not accept reality of what is going on in your beloved Labor Party.
Bill Shorten, Chris Bowen and Jenny Macklin are following in Gillards foot prints....Didn't you read it all?
The biased media....ABC and Fairfax are certainly not helping.....plenty of adverse rhetoric and negative ideas.
They doing all they can to discredit Abbott.
They've done a deal for a trial rollout with Telstra.

I agree with your sentiment doc, Abbott proved to be longer term thinker, when in opposition.
Currently I'm not over enamoured with their performance, but it may prove to be Labors downfall to block everything.
When the likely unpopular tax increases are put forward, Labor will be left with very little option than to wave them through.
While the coalition will be able to say, we are not allowed to reduce spending, therefore there is little option other than to increase taxes.
The tax increases, one would think, will have to be focused on the personal tax base. As an increase on the company tax base, will further deteriorate what is a fragile recovery, at best. IMO
Just read your last post doc, it would appear treasury are of the same belief.lol
Maybe Abbott is letting Shorten 'wedge' himself.
And again wrong, I have no association with the labor party.
And on the libs, it is all cut back with jobs being lost in all directions.
BUT ABSOLUTELY NO IDEAS FOR CREATING NEW JOBS.
On Q and A Monday the frirst two speakers asked where are the jobs that all the retraining and support program's are aimed at.
And no one,on the panel answered the question.
So noco I ask you ...where are the new jobs going to come from?
In terms of raw $, a lot the budget savings don't kick in till after this electoral cycle. 2014/15 is the smallest of all.The economic impact will be felt rapidly. I think the bounce in consumer confidence has been due to the fact some of the nasties from the budget are unlikely to get through. If people still thought it was all going to be enacted, we'd be looking at near recession by Q3 of the tax year.

When it comes to the biggies, the government has given itself a lot of time to argue its case.

What other biased questions would you expect from Q and A....I can't be bothered even watching that Tony Jones...he makes my blood curdle.
If you do some research on statistics, you will learn that unemployment is lower now than under the Labor Party.
By removing the imposition of the carbon tax, the mining tax, Labors red tape and green tape, controlling the corrupt militant unions will build confidence in the business community and the Coalition infrastructure programs will create many more jobs than under Labor...unemployment rose from 4% in 2006 to over 6.5 % in 2013.
Not much on QandA myself but liberals were on it with no substance to their replies.
On unemployment they are now jigged with part time work and would be most interested in your stats that employment has improved.
The big one though which you have still not answered noco, is where are the jobs going to come from to employ the thousands per wewk being laid off as a result of our high dollar and loss of manufacturing competitiveness.
People are encouraged to borrow to buy more investment properties and expand business, why suddenly does the government not do so to create industries and environments to increase productivity and employ more people.
Again noco, WHERE ARE THE JOBS UNDER ABBOTT COMING FROM?

Let us see the results in the next two years and if improvement does not happen I will be first in line to criticize the Abbott governement
