Significant Cuts
Many significant cuts were made by the Australian Government in the 2010-11 federal budget. The government will phase out the dependent spouse tax offset, which will save $755 million. $1.1 billion dollars will be saved from increasing the public sector efficiency dividend, while $470 will be saved by removing access to the Low Income Tax Offset for the unearned income of minors.
Welfare
Before the release of the federal budget, speculation was arising about crackdowns on the welfare system. On the 9th of May 2010, Prime Minister Rudd announced a proposal to force teenage fathers back into secondary education on or before their child is born. If the fathers refused to return to their appropriate schooling, their social security payments would be cut. The Prime Minister defends the policy by saying that those recipients are at a lifetime of disadvantage if they do not return to school by the required time.[2] The Gillard Government’s first budget has been strongly based on the changes to the welfare system. In a push to put more people in work and to lower unemployment by refining who is a worthy recipient of welfare and better targeting of family payments. This will provide savings of approximately $2. Higher income earners will lose more than $5 billion in welfare benefits and concessions.
Non Budget Expenditure
The budget does not capture all of the spending commitments made by the Australian Commonwealth Government. Costs associated with commitments such as the National Broadband Network are dealt with separately
