I don't know about you, but it makes my blood boil when I discover the Australian Government have given a $320 million dollar education scholarship package for up to 10,000 Africans to come to study in Australia.

Eligible Countries include Algeria, Angola, Benin, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroun, Cape Verde, Comoros, Congo(Republic of), Djibouti, Egypt, Ethiopia, The Gambia, Ghana, Kenya, Lesotho, Liberia, Libya, Malawi, Mali, Mauritius, Morocco, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, Rwanda, Sao Tome & Principe, Senegal, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Togo, Tunisia, Uganda, Zambia.

All of their expenses will be paid, including the uni degree.

Am I the only one who thinks this is complete madness?

Over half a trillion dollars in debt and here are the Government and Labor throwing borrowed cash around the globe. It's an absolute insult to every citizen in Australia and a disgrace to hard working people who slave their guts out to be taxed so people like Julie Bishop can go around big noting themselves on a global stage.

These people are elected to represent you, not nations across the globe. I wish they'd remember that!!!

Subtract the money off the $3.9 billion in foreign aid. Too easy.
 
It may pay off if the educated ones return to their own country and spread the word about Oz being a generous place and not a bunch of racists.

Well I would think they would be fairly pleased with the current racist fad, by our first and second gen migrants, of persecuting straight, white, austral-anglos males.

Put Chinese people in a room with Indians and there's world harmony personified on display. Put Israel Folau in a room of fag rugby players and watch the love. Ask the millions of "bonded labourers" (slaves) how they feel about their African rulers, how the Somali Bantu feel, how well the Black Moors are regarded. etc.
 
The Budget was a fraud based on growth numbers plucked out of the air with very little justification.

If people fall for this cr@p our education system is trash.

Did you read through the budget already?
 
The national debt was 300 billion when the libs took over now its near 500 billion.

Jobs and growth jobs and growth jobs and growth jobs and growth, three part time jobs by an individual counted as three jobs in the official stats.

An obvious buy votes budget which in the current difficult climate will hasten their departure from office.
 
Let’s abolish penalties and give the big end of town a tax cut blah blah
Go to a super market anywhere and you will find no extra employees only someone watching you at the self checkout.
The budget is just an extension of their smoke and mirrors trying to get re elected until they can push their flawed big end of town policies.
Let’s compare the Union RC to the banks RC and don’t forget they set the parameters

Don’t really effect me either way but wake up and smell the pooh
 
The question starts to be if Morrison is prepared to lose, does he really want it to pass or is the proposed budget a cynical election ploy based on not having to deliver.

It's a desperate attempt to wedge Labor by forcing them to pass a 7 year plan and if they don't then saying "Labor voted against a tax cut for low and middle income earners".

So yes, the second of your options is correct IMV.
 
Are we not on track to get back to a surplus without Bill S.hittings extra taxes?

Have any of you read the budget?
 
No we are not on track because a surplus depends on optimistic assumptions of growth which are currently not being realised and which could all come unstuck if commodity prices fall.
Really.
But you throw out that liberals spent more?
 
Another thing I noticed today. All the news of cfmeu alledged blackmail has disappeared off the google news tab under the same search I did yesterday.
 
Haven't spent much time reading the budget yet but on the surface it looks fairly responsible.

Can't really pick too many faults to be honest. The infrastructure projects are a no brainer IMO.

Obvious tax bribe, but otherwise pretty safe. Tax break doesn't look like passing, with One Nation looking to shoot it down.
