Wayne is he a good finance minister, or someone not capable of delivering sound design and financial strength that’s covering the entire nation.

Maybe Wayne Swan is a smart man and complicated in thought, this progresses through to his current budget; a man driven to maintain a bar already set above him, feeding his push to over compensate in fear of failure if achievement is not meet overall.

Looking at our finance division repeating costs via overlapping of departmental workloads, such tactics used in crosschecking for correctness, I’d say confidence with what is already implemented and established must be of a low to opt for further additions rather than strengthening within.

Additions, additions, additions equals complications, with complications comes errors and costs, rather than streamlining within establish areas our current government increase those areas and beyond at extra cost.

Simplify our nation through process, rather than more divisions, additional organisations and complication throughout. Rollover sub-categories within categories, into departments where additional costs will remain minimal, they are structured to handle options of expansion in existing design.

Trust, is something governments need to maintain with the public, without trust you no longer are the government. The public need to trust that our money is spent wisely within regulations set out by the ‘Attorney General’ and without preference, predigest or because our ‘Finance Minister’ or ‘PM’ feels that being flexible on regulations is ok.

Link Below I have sifted out all areas by category and sub category that don’t align with good business practises or spending of federal funding.

My responses’ in the majority state if ‘not viable’ and why, or indicate duplication meaning allocated funds overlapping currently established departments or non-profit organisations.

Hi Brett, i'm confused. I thought Penny Wong was finance minister and Swan was the teasurer?

Yes in practise Wong is the Lower House - Finance Minister

Wayne Swan is the Treasurer in the Upper House but still a Finance Minister non he less...

I am of cause referring to Treasurer as the topic is about the Budget.

Sorry, even more confused now. I thought Sen. Wong, as a Senator would be in the Senate or upper house? Swan on the other hand is and elected member of the house of reps. or lower house.

I said to my wife the other day " I think I'm right but I could be wrong, she said, yes you are right, you're wrong".

Just checking.

‘Lower House’ - Senate - Red Seating

‘Upper House’ - House of Representatives - Green Seating

Senior Members reside in general in ‘Lower House’

Main parties’ mainstream seats and senior committees of government operate in ‘Upper House’.

Bills passed via House of Representatives, must then pass through ‘Lower House’ prior to Attorney General

How House of Representatives’ program works –

Member puts forward question prior to sitting, to senior committee members for authorisation if mainstream party member.

If Independent just schedule their questions for sitting, no committee intervention, as right to stand and question either side on any subject.

Independent has freedom of speech rain over mainstream MPs, which are controlled.

Party's -

A 'New' party can be registered and compete against any other mainstream party once they have a membership of 500 members.

Any citizen has the right to run for any seat of choosing, that does not have to be the area of your residence.

A writ must be made 1 month prior to election and you must advertise in at least two main papers locally your intention to run for seat.

Capable - Under regulations of parliament, if a member of parliament if found not to be capable through errors, misconduct or misappropriations or authorisation of revenue funding must step down from house of representatives seat aka meaning resign..

Frankly BrettH,

"Maybe Wayne Swan is a smart man and complicated in thought, this progresses through to his current budget; a man driven to maintain a bar already set above him, feeding his push to over compensate in fear of failure if achievement is not meet overall. ",

is the biggest of Liberal Party tosses. A myth of ethical proportions".

Costello did not set any high bars in my book as Treasurer, if that is what you are alluding too BrettH. In fact no major economic decisions were made during his tenure. With the exception of the great big new tax GST, that created it's own inflationary bubble.

Inflation was higher when Howard lost office than when he gained office. As was the unemployment level. Costello knew that allowing ideologues to drive the economic decision making, would not be good for Australia's long term future, but didn't have the bottle to stand up to them. And now we suffer the consequences.

Swan has also had the GFC to contend with as well as having received an economy that lacked regulation and consumer protections/safety nets from the Howard reign. If anything, Wayne Swan stands guilty of the same indolence as Costello, in failing to adequately reverse the damage done, so far. Today, the consumer/employee blames whomever is in Gov't now, for the fact that their future is less assured, less predictable, less Australian if you like, than it once was.

As far as Wayne Swan was concerned, (about emanating the feats of his predecessor),
I would have thought that this would have been the least of his worries at the moment , with one eye cocked on both the American and European economies.
