To be honest I haven't looked that closely at the budget but what from what I have seen it doesn't look like there was very much for anyone.

A lot of hype not much substance.

Completely agree. And what substance there is, is retrogressive in the most part.

They seem obsessed with carbon capture and storage. Not that there is anything wrong with that in principal and their driveers for being obsessed are obvious. But any ground which has been fractured to increase oil and gas production is never going to adequately hold it. Their plan is to fill up the southern oil and gas fields with carbon, but realistically these fractured shallow fields will not hold it

And to make it worse, they're using $$ taken from the small subsidy to renewables to pay for it.
