In a cliche-ridden (“Madam Speaker, I believe our nation’s best days are ahead of us”) half hour speech outlining Australia’s budget priorities for 2015-2016, Treasurer Joe Hockey didn’t mention the words “education” or “training” once. The Medical Research Future Fund, announced last year, to be funded from the now abandoned Medicare co-payment, will distribute $400 million a year over the next 4 years.
That ends our Budget analysis tonight.
Good night.
We’ll look at the fine detail tomorrow.
