We recognise we're in the deepest economic recession in our lives. That involves us ensuring we don't make the economic disaster worse than it needs to be. We must not spend more than we need to in poorly prioritised areas. After health and after education, we need only ask one question with our taxpayers' money: does it save jobs and create growth? Big spending in the Budget should be focused on saving jobs, because we understand the suffering from a thousand people a day going on the dole queue and businesses shutting up in record numbers. It's much easier to keep someone in a job than it is to later find them a job from the dole queue.
