Australian Federal Budget
February 2005
This year's budget is being framed in a period of prosperity for the Australian economy and for those who enjoy good jobs and incomes. Economic growth has been strong for most of the last decade. People with significant assets have enjoyed rising property and share values. Skilled workers have enjoyed significant wage rises and promotions. Yet many people still live and many of our basic services operate in prosperity's shadow.
