Prime Minister Scott Morrison says the Labor Party doesn’t have the “skills or experience” to understand the budget process and “didn’t do a particularly good job” when it was last in government. Shadow Health Minister Mark Butler asked the prime minister why he said the budget was “based on assumptions not policy settings”. “I know it is a mystery to those opposite about how budgets are put together and how they work,” Mr Morrison said.
“There are assumptions in the budget that Treasury pulled together based on their assessment of the circumstances and that helps them with their assessment of estimates. “That's how budgets are done. I know it's been a long time since they've been in an expenditure review committee and they don't have the skills or experience to understand how budgets are put together. “It may be a mystery to them, perhaps we should offer them courses on budgets on how to put it together.

ScottMorrisonMP $600m on a gas plant seems like a responsible spend......
ScottMorrisonMP I have seen both parties in power. To be honest our problem is that neither party is worth their salt. We are forced to have one or the other. Budgets are smoke n mirrors. I'll vote for home manufacturing, kids education n jobs first, not this o/s reliance we currently court.
ScottMorrisonMP Ha! Wasn't Wayne Swan awarded best Finance Minister in 2011 by his international comrades? Has any LNP minister ever been awarded that honour?
ScottMorrisonMP
ScottMorrisonMP I believe that this inept mob doubled the debt of the so called Debt and Deficit Disaster of Labor before the pandemic started But we all know that Scuntmo is a prolific liar
ScottMorrisonMP 😂😂😂😂😂😂 laughable claim from Morrison. He's gaslighting the nation...as usual. Which Australian Finance Minister was awarded the world's best Fin Manager title for his excellent works in leading us out of the GFC? WayneSwan
ScottMorrisonMP Kevin Rudd did brilliantly during the GFC. Paul Keating was the best Treasurer in decades.
ScottMorrisonMP I hope there's real money in the budget for cleaners to follow Morrison around and clean up the shit that falls out whenever he opens his mouth. Seriously, he's delusional! That statement alone should have people questioning his grip on reality ... !
ScottMorrisonMP Rubbish but I guess you have to support your party.
ScottMorrisonMP There is a particular reason why various Labour front bench members are stumbling and looking very awkward and that is because they are getting too close to JEChalmers and tripping on his trainer wheels.
ScottMorrisonMP Yeah OK
ScottMorrisonMP Debt....when labor has given one surplus budget in about 50 years.....and unions and labor......nothing to see here.....
EricMcFadyen ScottMorrisonMP No - it only saved Aussies from the GFC. You lot on the other hand have quadruplets this debt with Nothing to show - shame on you!
ScottMorrisonMP Three words that go together. Liberals. Corruption. Debt.
ScottMorrisonMP Lies amplified by Murdoch

ScottMorrisonMP The LNP Debt budget makes Labor look pretty good actually
ScottMorrisonMP Well they’re not like you ScottMorrisonMP they don’t give false hopes 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
ScottMorrisonMP Despite Labor having the best performing economy in the world and nowhere near the debt of the liberals? I also don't recall labor stashing away $9 billion for an upcoming election
ScottMorrisonMP Yes well apparently Scott thinks he’s is a giant among men when it comes to overseeing large amounts of money.. idk.. maybe he is
ScottMorrisonMP 'Responsible spending' ? That's hilarious coming from this sports rorts government.

Labor, Greens slam government decision to put childcare in the women's budget | Sky News AustraliaThe federal government has announced $3.4 billion in the 2021 Budget for improving the lives of women, however, half the allocated funds are directed to childcare.\n\nThere was $355 million in the budget for women’s health with a national health strategy, funding for infant and stillbirth research, a national endometriosis action plan, and maternal, sexual, and reproductive health programs. \n\nWomen’s economic security was allocated $1.9 billion with $1.7 billion given to childcare for more than two children. \n\nSTEM scholarships were awarded $42 million, with $38 million provided for women’s leadership and development, and $14 million for Indigenous women in business. \n\nLabor and the Greens have slammed the government’s decision to include childcare in the women’s portion of the budget, saying childcare is a family issue and should be treated as such. \n I once heard Malcolm Turnbull say women have to be good role models for their young children by being productive members of society by going to work. Not the exact words but similar... same meaning. It was on the news. I nearly fell off the couch. More tax payers; working women and child care workers. Gotta empower women to be productive members of society, to only feel good about themselves if they have a career.. and send their children to childcare.. Messed up

Government set to deliver a 'Labor-like budget' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Andrew Bolt says the federal government is set to deliver a 'Labor-like budget' tomorrow. \n\n'In a lot of ways, it's hard to distinguish this from a Labor budget,' Mr Bolt said. \n\n True. Now let's talk about what it means. Left wing economic theory works in a crisis and right wing economic theory is completely fraudulent. I'm not telling you this, Frydenberg is. I hope it is a Labor like budget but chances are if SkyNews is saying this it's another budget that does more for corporations than people. I say fuck Labor-like it Labor-lite, it's time for full strength Labor instead of this LA Ice knock off auspol labor2022
