AFR posted:[Scott Morrison] could have brought a budget which removed red tape and regulation, and encouraged real private sector growth. Instead, this budget is about preserving totems like Medicare and locking in another $18bn in spending over a decade on an unreformed school system that does not produce results. It will entrench another Labor spending monument in the form of the National Disability Income Scheme that explodes in cost from $3bn to $20bn a year in five years’ time.

I can't imagine the liberals would literally ever be elected again if they fully privatised medicare. Australians are loving idiots, but they like universal healthcare.

Right, but the AFR was complaining they didn't get rid of 'totems like medicare.' Which just seems to show an incredible lack of strategic thinking on their part. I guess they might be trying to make people think that this budget is less right wing than it is, by loudly complaining it's not evil enough.

All the papers are entreating that this is a Labor budget but I don't see that it is. Seems more to me like it is a coordinated effort to just claim it is a "Labor budget" so that Labor would look awfully obstinate if they block it in the senate. What's Labor about it? It's still a cruel and incompetent budget in that it drug tests social security recipients, cuts funding to the already-crippled CSIRO and makes the housing affordability crisis worse.

Well going by the last Labor administration the budget might very well do something about carbon emissions or increase revenue from mining.

The narrative from News Corp et al is that this is a Labor budget (but better) and fair as They're trying to wedge the ALP and tell the people this poo poo sandwich is steak. Don't believe them.

It bugs me that they keep bumping the Medicare levy instead of raising taxes progressively. Then again gotta gently caress those poors.

The media want a close election to get more money. By saying the budget is more like Labor they hope to bring the polls closer and secure more exciting media coverage when election time rolls around. Also someone told me that an LNP member in QLD is going to stand down soon due to health issues causing a by election. However if Labor wins that seat then that brings parliament to 70-70 meaning there is a chance of an early election.

The LNP Right benefit from this narrative as much as the media who are overwhelmingly right wing. Only a neoliberal would regard public heathcare as a 'totem'. For the political media, ideology is just as important as cash, one affects the other. Literally raiding the piggybank for revenue demonstrates how completely cornered the government is, yet somehow this will work because wages will magically rise. They'd better, because unemployment is staying where it is, and interest rates will definitely rise at least to cover increasing inflation, and this levy. Which makes me wonder if raising interest rates wasn't also an indirect goal.

The sheer amount of outrage coming out of the banks is boggling. Increasing their taxes is an 'assault' and 'unwarranted'. Then the petulant toddler kicks in and they scream that they are going to pass it all on to customers anyway so Nayh Nayh Nayh. I expect a rape comparison from one of them by COB.

Also plausible. Bonner could have gone ALP in 2016 but they pulled support from their candidate in the last couple of weeks. Pre-selection fights between Labor Left and Right candidates have reportedly been pretty brutal.

It's not hard to forsee this is what would happen. Big corporations would rather jack up prices, cut staff or cut services than even think about touching wages or bonuses at the top end
