Nationals Senator, Barnaby Joyce, tonight was “blown out of his swag” with the announcement of a windfall for working Australia with a change in tax rates.

“15cents in the dollar up to $25,000, 30 cents up to $75,000, 40 cents up to $150,000 and 45 cents above that. That is all you have to remember for the water cooler chatter tomorrow.”

“By the way we now have a trillion dollar economy and a $10.8 billion surplus.”

$2.3 billion for Auslink, which has been driven by the Nationals, and $300 million for Roads to Recovery shall keep Queenslanders happy and put a spring in the step from Queen St to the Buffs Club in Mt Isa.
