So there is a lot of concern that the budget like isn't actually fixing anything.

And I think that's right.

It could have, but the government didn't have the courage to do that, which is really, really, really sad.

You know, like they should have the courage to do that.

And if they don't get out of the way and let someone who does have the courage, have a go.

Like if we had the reins of this budget, we could have dental and mental into Medicare.

We could have affordable housing.

We could have free public transport and actually build some public transport where there isn't any at the moment.

We can have proper climate action, which we know brings people's energy bills down and helps protect nature and the future for all of us.

We could have all of these things, but instead $53 billion to Donald Trump for more weapons and like baking in these property investor tax perks?

No, that's not vision.

That's wimping out.
