By Graham Young, published 5/6/2026

Jim Chalmers complained about the economy he inherited - too much debt, chronic deficit, low productivity - so what is the point of his last budget?

Polls say that 60% of Australians are disgusted with the Liars' budget. The younger generation that it was supposed to help are talking about leaving the country, and aspiring business starters are being advised to move to Singapore.

It's a pity that most of those same people voted for Albanese at the last election. It's a pity that Albanese is too arrogant or stupid to admit that he was wrong. It's a pity that Albanese has still two years left to really ruin the country. It's a pity that Australia has the least interest in Artificial Intelligence of any comparable country. It's a pity that AI will have the same affect on workers as the Industrial Revolution did.

But wait! There is now talk that the combination of more than one taxation proposal in a single Bill might be unconstitutional; that the CGT and the tax relief cannot be together.

There is a chance that this part of the the Liars' budget could be challenged in the High Court if the Opposition stirs its stumps and does something other than talking.

On top of everything else, 51,000 non-citizens are benefiting from the first home-buyer scheme meant for young Australians buying their first homes.

These foreigners remain uncommitted to Australia, while getting their noses in the trough. One more example of the Albanese government cheapening the advantages and responsibilities of citizenship. The idiots aren't even getting votes from these people.
