Another federal budget has been handed down, by Treasurer Josh Frydenberg, for the Liberal National Party government. Yet another cynical vote-buying exercise is on display to the tune of umpteen billions of dollars, of which all the major parties are guilty of, come election time. This has been normalised, and is a reflection of the low-calibre we accept in our politicians. And of course, there is funding for many good things for the Australian people in the budget as well. Pity that the dysfunctional funding is there as well.
