More cracks appear in the Lieberals

Finally, finally.......  It seems to be starting to sink in to their thick bloody heads that the key budget measures will not get through the senate in anything like their present form. I don't know how many times they've been told over and over that their cruely doesn't want to be on the senate's conscience. Seriously, who would want suicides to deal with - blood on their hands? Because that's exactly what will happen if some of these harsh measures go through.

Now suddenly there's no more "budget emergency", and a way is being opened for the gov to try and save a bit of face and get out of this whole budget mess; to simply say Oh well, there might have to be tax increases at some point in the future. Evidently that's supposed to be some kind of threat? *pfffft* Sounds good to me. How about they actually get highest income earners paying their fair share of tax for a start. 

In line with the government’s dramatic rhetorical shift about the “budget emergency” last week, the finance minister, Mathias Cormann, insisted there was “no rush” to win Senate approval for budget savings measures but added that if spending cuts could not be achieved over time the government could be left with no choice but to raise taxes. more
