There is nothing in this budget for the people of Groom.
Cost of living, electricity prices and unemployment are going up, and real wages are going down.
All the things that households were worried about are still going to happen.
By Christmas the average Australian household will be $2,000 worse off, and Labor is doing nothing about it.
If anything, this budget is a money shuffling exercise, with the Treasurer taking good programs like the Building Better Regions Fund, and renaming them.Locally, there’s a cloud over the delivery of important infrastructure projects like Railway Parklands and Inland Rail. Labor has committed to their delivery but there was no detail in the budget papers about when we’ll see the money.
The one bright spot is that UniSQ’s $50 million Trailblazer funding was confirmed. This is an important project announced by the previous Coalition Government to turbocharge our region’s space industry.
