It certainly feels like an election budget, Vote for us now and maybe we will give out our promises, and for our voter bases out there (Boomers) You will get a sweet tax cut!

It's pretty pitiful compared to the cash splashes of the Howard era I mean even the ruddbucks and pink batts were better, and they actually did a good job at stimulating demand

it’ll be interesting to see the high court’s argument, as from what i understand this ruling basically puts people at the mercy of foreign governments’ bureaucratic efficiency.

ok so from the live blog the position seems to be “if the british take a long time to confirm your decision to drop your citizenship, tough luck” which is a really stupid position but that’s the law i guess

Ok? If you don’t want to give it up citizenship then don’t apply to be an MP. The public isn’t going to vote to change the constitution.

Reading the judgment the Court seems to have decided that for the exemption to apply the foreign law must “irremediably prevent” you from being able to renounce, based on what was decided in Sykes v Cleary. Except that the test in Sykes v Cleary wasn’t whether the foreign law was “irremediable.” The test was whether all reasonable steps had been taken. Indeed, “irremediably prevented” was originally a throwaway line which the current Court have now construed as a necessary condition to engage the exception.

I guess there is an irony that s44 was presumably written to prevent the interference of foreign powers yet here we are.

For those who are unaware, Rockhampton has made the bold choice to decorate their town with anatomically correct statues of bulls that are then brightly painted. I like to think in preparation they also reattached all of the pairs of testicles that are periodically removed by drunk bogans.

Why is this an election budget when the liberals can roll out another budget next year since we won't poll until AFL grand final 2019?
