Behind the Budget with Wayne Swan

[PaulAustraliaTeams]

Home video's are cheap as chips so this would have cost not much for edit or production at all.

Now when it comes to election time we know such a video will cost 3 million so if the government can cut back the spending this is leading the way, I would think... Good On Ya.

Lack of Investment from the HoW ODD Govt is

the main reason the Government is helping out the states with Infrastructure spending.

It will end up being an election winner as well, if people don't fall for the right wing Main newspapers' propaganda.

With more people being born into this world, we need efficient Passenger and freight Rail systems, and this will get the Cars and trucks off the roads, in our cities.

If not, it won't just be Global Warming Pollution that will smother Us.

Could You Imagine Costello doing something like this? I would be cringing through until....

It would be like sitting through an episode of Glenn Beck on FOX NEWS.

Wayne makes it seem just bearable.

Nice one!

very amateur video

don't tell me the government is too pov to afford a tripod

[gerbs08]

Global financial crisis...duh

[tarm09]

Beautifully contrived.

Now tell me Wayne, what is your favourite Neil Young song?

Good P.R It is better the government is doing some thing than nothing at all.

When the government looks after small pockets of people, starting from the forgotten to the remembered it is a good reason to be proud of our country Australia.

People want to feel safe and secure thanks for trying and not giving up on many promises, maybe a list to show the public you are working through them and what other promises take more time than others.

I too think that Wayne is a decent bloke, butif he really wants to spread the pain around, he would take a good look at this Family Trust bullshit, how fair is it tho the rest of us when people can set up a company to minimize their tax obligations, and then they can register all their children and theor granny, and put them down as earning 20k even although they didn't actually do any work, so have a look at this Wayne, or are you one of the people with the family trust set up. it so unfair.

[MusicThoughtFeeling]

Thanks for all the hard work you've been doing Wayne - it hasn't gone unnoticed. Keep up the excellent work.

Sucks to be treasurer in these times

[theAlgod]

Good on ya Wayne. Good luck with the speech tommorow and hope you do the right thing, which I'm sure you will as you, Kevin & Julia have been doing a genuine good job in such a bloody difficult time.

who cares gov debt or not , dosent change my life

[b0b0maj0]

It does, you pay more tax maybe. Or as a beneficiary of the government you may expect to receive less.

[AustralianHalo]

Doesn't sound like a good idea.

[chungman212]

Who paid him to post that comment?

[boothy21]

wayne is the best

[thousandeye]

If Wayne's mother-in-law is happy then I am too.

Tough Job Waynes got! This was a good video to show the "human" side of Wayne as people sometimes just see you guys as bloody Pollies. Its a hard call to try and work out whats best for the country and having to make "changes" is just the beginning. Hang in there Kev and Wayne we know your trying your best in this recession and you can't please everyone.

Just be Fair Dinkum and it will work out for all in the end. :)
