The Federal Budget for 2018-19 has been structured to achieve:

• The generation of opportunities for businesses and workers.
• Continued economic growth and employment growth.
• Reductions in tax payable for low to middle income earners.
• A fairer tax system by cracking down on the cash economy.
• A balanced budget in two years and then moving to surplus budgets to repay national debt.
• A more competitive economy with enhanced export potential.
• More aged care facilities and pensioner benefits.

This year’s Budget is very pro-business mixed with some significant social measures to assist sectors such as aged care, education, health and indigenous well-being.  Calling this a pre-election Budget would be simplistic and not a fair assessment of measures that have been announced to address important needs across the economic and social spectrums of the Australian community.
