A nice story today at the AFR:
Labor is unashamedly defending its plans to permanently expand the size of government with a 10-year budget plan that embeds a record tax take to fund a surge in spending that began during the boom years.
However, analysis by The Australian Financial Review of the tax and spending projections of both sides of politics indicates the Coalition is almost certain to match Labor’s spending levels unless it ramps up cuts or succumbs to the draw of higher taxes.
