  • Federal Budget 2020-2021
    Federal Budget 2020-2021 The Federal Budget was handed down by Treasurer Josh Frydenberg on 6 October 2020, after it was postponed from May due to the coronavirus pandemic. Overview The deficit is projected to reach $213.7 billion in the 2020-21 financial year, or around 11 per cent of GDP. Deficits are forecast for the next decade. Net debt will increase to $703 billion, around 36 per cent of GDP, and is expected to peak at $966 billion, or 44 per cent of GDP, in 2024. Gross debt will peak at over $1.1 trillion in 2023-24. Treasury expects unemployment will reach 8 per cent before the end of the year, and the Budget forecasts the economy will grow by 4.25 per cent next calendar year. The economy contracted 7 per cent in the June quarter. Macroeconomic figures in the Budget are based on the assumption that a “population wide” vaccine will be “fully in place” by late 2021. Infrastructure • The Budget includes an extra $14 billion in new infrastructure funding, bringing the 10- year infrastructure pipeline to $110 billion. The funding will be provided on a ‘use it or lose it’ basis, where the state must start work quickly or the Federal Government will give it to another state • $2 billion in road safety upgrades, such as road widening, centre lines and barriers, which will be identified and delivered in three six-month tranches • $1 billion to support local councils to immediately upgrade local roads, footpaths and street lighting, as an extension of the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure program • $36.9 million over 4 years from

  • Tasmania November – 2003
    Tasmania November – 2003 Fri 31st Oct Well it all started around midday after waking up after night shift. Yep keen I know, but this is holidays we are talking about. Finished packing the car and away we went. We ended up 400 km away in Eden after a high frequency of toilet stops. I should point out here that Zuz is about 3 months pregnant. The caravan park was 5 min south of Eden with some very nice sites with nice soft grass. Takeaway for dinner. Sat 1st Nov As I was already in holiday mode, I made I up before sunrise to go and take some photos. So down the beach I went and it was very nice. But I then discovered that my 24-120 lens had no auto focus. Bugger… and a few other choice words were allowed to escape the mouth. On the bright side, I had a spare so all was not completely lost. Now, time to go and cook breakfast. Got the stove out and discover the day was sent to test me. The stove did not work either. Missing an O ring and leaking. Can I go back to bed, hit the reset button and start again. My turn to drive today and the plan was to get to Lakes entrance for lunch and have some fresh prawns. Picked up some polarised sunnies at a service station on the way. More about them later. We got the Lakes Entrance and it was raining on and off, windy and quite cold. So something else was ordered for lunch and then off to find a place to camp.
