Be realistic about Budget 2018 expectations


THE Government will present next year’s federal Budget on Friday. As usual, we will be eager to know if we stand to gain something – perhaps higher tax breaks and bigger allocations – or if there will be proposed measures that may be particularly painful for some of us.

However, given that the deadline for the 14th general election is about 10 months from now, most people expect Budget 2018 to prompt more cheers than jeers.
