I listened to the whole thing, watched the whole thing online, and tried to make sense of it as I could.

Is this sort of an annual thing for you?

You really get deep into the budget and see what's on it?

Oh, I think it affects everyone, and perhaps there weren't the fireworks that some were expecting.

But, yeah, look, it has real consequences for a lot of people.

Well, yeah, I've got my highlighter here.

But, look...

BBB, that's not our credit rating, by the way.

We're still in the A's.

But yeah, basics, build, and buffer.

And maybe you could add boring to it as well.

But look, there were some aspects I think worth sort of paying attention to.

But the obvious or usual beneficiaries' health, that affects everyone, right?

So some of the things in the budget were quite targeted.

But health is something that everyone benefits from, whether it be in the form of hospitals or better services.

So $5.5 billion, that's a chunky number.

But I don't think too many people would disagree with that being a heavy priority.
