Dear Andrew..
Dec 19^th, 2017 at 11:10am

Today’s Budget Update (the Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook) shows Australia’s Budget position has improved by $9.3 billion over 4 years, compared to the forecast in May’s Budget.

Over six years, Labor racked up six deficits and put Australia on track for $1 trillion in debt.

We have brought Labor’s reckless spending under control and are on track for budget balance in 2020-21.

Today’s figures show that from this year, the Government will no longer need to borrow for recurrent expenditure (that is, regular expenditure like health, education and welfare – as opposed to assets like road and rail infrastructure).

This would be the first time since 2008 that the Australian Government must no longer borrow to meet its recurrent expenditure.

This is a function of the Turnbull Government acting to get expenditure under control.

Today’s positive Budget news, follows last week’s good news on jobs. So far this year, 360,000 more jobs have been created – at a rate of over 1,000 new jobs per day.

The Coalition Government remains determined to fix the Budget and deliver a stronger economy, with more and better paying jobs.

Regards,

Scott Morrison
Treasurer

Debt is still increasing:

Net debt is expected to stabilise over the forward estimates, peaking at 19.2 per cent of GDP in 2018 19,

What a surprise another Liberal government taking the credit for a world wide trend.

Global growth has strengthened significantly over the course of the year. While the strengthening in growth was anticipated at Budget, it has accelerated by more than forecast.

Quote:

• Major bank levy ($5.5 billion over the forward estimates); and
• Pause in FTB A & B Payment indexation rates for two years ($1.9 billion over the forward estimates).

Here is how the improvement is done.

Remember all those genuinely disabled people who cannot qualify as to be disabled ??? They are paying for it.

remember the NDIS changes ?

Remember the cuts to health and education ?

Increasing tax and removing benefits ?

All short term one off's nothing here to fix anything just deferring the problems.
