The Government has delivered on its promise of tax cuts.

But for average families will an extra $20 a week really make much difference or will it simply disappear into the household grocery or petrol bills?

Consumption has an unerring ability to expand with capacity to pay so regrettably we may be sitting here in 12 months time analysing yet another budget and wondering where this week's tax cut went.

very interesting, i was expecting (being vanguard) a blow of their own trumpt... but they were happy to save your 50% off putting on your mortgage... however a touch unrealistic as nobody has a P&I loan, pays the standard variable rate....

but really something good to think about....

thanks sim
