Budget freedom, sweet freedom

Working in a proper public service job has given a whole new tinge to the Federal Budget announcement. In fact, it's almost exciting... almost. (I'm still a little bitter about the fact I and my sister both miss out on the $900 'thanks-for-being-Australian' bonus because we didn't pay tax in 2008.)

I noticed that science has done ok out of the whole thing, which is nice - and as long as I don't work to hard and earn too much money, my situation won't get any worse. But I think my favorite bit of budget-reporting so far has been a word-image of the Treasurer's speech - especially when you compare it with last year's speech. There are some obvious differences.
