    Was he drunk at the time? Or is he naturally weird?

    Man.

    That whole stack of paper goes to each federal parliamentarian, probably each of their staffers, plenty of economists, most likely a lot of state parliamentarians, etc.

    I reckon they should publish the entire budget as separate, secure PDFs, then whoever wants to read whatever, can read it off the screen or print off as much as they need to.

    Jeez strider coming from someone whose blog is called ’stubyholder’ and is worth $2,258.16 (even by the inflated prices of the net), I wouldn’t be slagging of at anyone if I were you.

    They do - it’s here http://www.budget.gov.au/ And it is freed at exactly 7.30pm on budget night.

    @ Strider: he’s naturally hilarious.

    Hmm, in retrospect Christine, perhaps they could have put a bit more in the budget for teaching remedial spelling to adults. The correct spelling is ’stubbyholder’ and ’slagging off’. Remember, some words use double letters.

    Anyway, I suppose Andy Barty is alright, compared to David Hicks at least. If he feels like a drink, I am happy to hand over a case or two of my homemade wine from last year - he doesn’t need to swear at me or threaten to bash me up.

    PS - if anyone is interested in buying my blog for the above listed price in US dollars, I might be interested in selling, as I could use the money for speculating on some upcoming uranium exploration company floats.
