Budget 2012 Summary

May 8, 2012

Imagine an Australia with less of these

Last year I gave you a wide-reaching view of the Budget process.

This year I wanted to flag some of our Budget initiatives that get overlooked in the hubbub around the headline items that the media like to froth over:

$4 million Haemorrhoid Support Garment Purchase Scheme, starting 2016

$42 million over 12 years for Esky Restoration Allowance

$850.00 over 3 years for Pseudo Echo Museum in Geelong

$4.8 million over 12 mths for a Kingswood Country Travelling Film Education Initiative:  to ensure this iconic aussie TV masterpiece is shown in every school

$13.6 million over 3 years for a Bogan Tramp Stamp Removal Scheme

$2.8 million and a bain marie warehouse constructed in Brisbane as part of a new Chiko Roll Preservation Taskforce

$182 million over 2 years  for the Sex Worker Financial Support Scheme, to assist a key industry suffering from reduced union investment

$4500.00 over 8 years on a 100% tax subsidy for any Australian investing in local manufacturing industry

$1.2 million to help Scouts, via Woggle Innovation Initiative

Lycra Bike Shorts Abolition Scheme – $1.7 million to swap out with terry-towelling shorts

Appreciate your thoughts on any areas you feel we could have covered.

    All i want to say is the Kim Carr fart jokes should be retired. Enough mileage has been had. Forgiveness is available because of the Pseudo Echo museum initiative. My vote just swung back towards Labor.
