\n
\n* The government announced an extra $1.2b for education but Gonski needs $4.5b so\u00a0we have to find $3.3b to achieve the same budget deficit.
\n* Taxing religions could generate somewhere between $5b and $10b
\n* Negative Gearing costs the budget about $4b-$5b each year
\n* The “small” business company tax cuts will cost the budget $50b over 10 years
\n* Of the company tax cuts, $11b goes straight to the US Treasury
\n* Submarines will cost us $4.16b each to buy and possibly twice that amount each to maintain
\n* Overseas aid spending has dropped to $3.8b
