The 2011 to 2012 Australian Federal Budget was released on the 10th of May 2011, which featured the theme of Providing Opportunity, Demanding Responsibility[1]. Treasurer Wayne Swan delivered an address to the House of Representatives outlining major initiatives and programmes of the budget. The Gillard Government’s first federal budget aims to return the Australian economy to surplus by 2012-2013, as promised during the 2010 Australian federal election.
