The Abbott Government’s first budget is one of Australia’s harshest on record, with cuts affecting just about every Australian. The Prime Minister argues that, after the spending of the previous Labor governments, some tough love is the only forward if Australia is to continue to enjoy one of the world’s most robust economies.
