We got the spin from the government, but with debt and spending now seen as necessary to get Australia back on its feet, is the money being spent in the right places, and is it enough? Here is some of the social media reaction, and the general consensus throughout Twitter was the same!
How to
disguise a tax increase for low-to-middle-income folk? By announcing a
$420 tax break before taking it away. $1500 LMITO this election, $0
next year. Shamelessly cynical #Budget2022—

Browsing
through the budget and there's absolutely nothing exciting to
discover. Nothing that makes anything radically better or different.
It's a wank. #Budget2022—

I am honestly
stunned on the eve of an election the government has announced a
budget CUT in real terms to Aboriginal legal services and Aboriginal
family violence prevention and legal services. So much for promises to
close the gap and to do things differently #Budget2022—

The media
narrative today is “will this Budget secure an election win”. Wouldn’t
the more relevant question be is the Budget financially responsible,
good for the community, good for the economy? As usual, the media
always asks the wrong questions. #auspol

The Morrison
govt has made its position clear. It expects all aged care workers to
continue to work their guts out & be poorly paid because quite
frankly, they don't care about the elderly nor the workers. What
other logical conclusion can we draw from #Budget2022?@anmf_federal

People who
earn up to $126,000 per year will get $420 back in their tax, while
people who rely on government payments will only get $250. Because the
more you earn, the more government support you need? ?#Budget2022

DUDGET:
Andrew Probyn says #Budget2022
has “no sparkle” and will not win the government any votes. It comes
as hopes were dashed for real relief from surging costs of living — an
opportunity missed by Josh Frydenberg, who has “delivered another
dud”. #auspol—
