The Australian Labor Party have finally done it!
After decades of trying, the red tie side of politics have managed to achieve the tag of ‘fiscally responsible.’
This comes after getting the tick of approval from the detached tertiary educated media class for their most recent budget.
Dropped by Treasurer Jim Chalmers in parliament last night, the 2023 Federal Budget has received widespread applause from commentators for managing to strike a fine balance between keeping just enough people out of the poverty class and balancing the nation’s books.
Posting the first surplus in 15 years, Treasurer Chalmers has claimed credit for the work of the previous government, with an incredible wide smirk on his face.
That will all go to shit in the years following, with another 100 billion or so worth of deficit forecast from next year on, but Chalmers made a point of emphasising just how responsible he and his government are.
“It’s all about striking the right balance, and making sure we aren’t spending more than we can afford,” said the Treasurer in regards to questions about the paltry raise to welfare or lack of spending on climate that doesn’t relate to making Twiggy Forrest’s Hydrogen projects huge amounts of money
“We can’t just pull money out of thin air,” said the Treasurer who plans to spend 248 billion dollars on Stage Three Tax cuts which will benefit people earning more than 180k a year.
“Implementing a policy overwhelmingly benefits the top 10% of society and sees a cleaner on 45k get no extra money in their pocket is fiscally responsible,” said Chalmers.
“It’s the new Labor way.”
“Just like spending a few hundred billion on submarines we won’t see for a few decades, while another million people slip into the poverty class.”
Chalmers then said that anyone feeling left behind just needs to start earning more than 180k.
“Pretty simple really,” finished the Treasurer who seemingly thinks his voter base is people on a few hundred thousand a year being tax cuts for doing nothing.
More to come.
