‘Taking us for a ride’: Labor has not done ‘enough work’ to bring down spending

Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell says there is “so much” income tax coming in for the government to spend.

Mr Clennell said the Albanese government is “taking us for a ride” with their spending habits.

“They haven’t done hard enough work.”

If Australian voters are so naive as too think that they are not responsible for paying back to this debt, then you deserve the collapse of your standard off living.

[Verrifier-zz]

We want tax reform, not $5 of our own money.

It's the Government's duty to spend money on behalf of us, the tax payers, but on services and schemes that benefit us, not pie in the sky net zero policies or building up their own bank balances. All we want is real government, nothing more nothing less.

[davidcarter]

Channel 7 sought independent opinion on the budget by asking David Borger, a Labor politician who lost his NSW state seat. He liked the budget. No kidding.

Some spending is good and some good things have been done by Labor. But 1 Million new jobs and including in this 800, 000 new government employees. You got to be joking Anthony Albanese. And over a million immigrants? Who's stick are you pulling? We need manufacturing and value adding to our exports. I am so sick of these blabbing twats in parliament.
