Personally I vote labour but i must admit for the first time I'm looking over the fence at the libs. Why? Well I'm tired of paying for long term unemployed and for people that expect the system to pay for them.

I thought a "tough" budget would have included an expiry date on the handouts to these people. But what it actually contained was an expiry date on the 50k at 15% tax into super. Now I'm not going to be relying on the system to fund my retirement so I think its fair for me to receive a bit of help if I'm willing to put my cash away for 30 years.

Now a spray for J. Winston Howard. Infrastructure spending? Yep well over due because nothing got done for 13 years. When you go overseas and have a look around you can see public transport/roads/rail/airports that we can only dream of. Lets face it our airports are a disgrace and so is the transport system in general.
