Mick I think the general apathy to this event is because it is just too little too late.
If the Escalator tax on beer had been dropped when the party first came to power, then maybe there might be a few more pubs trading.

A lot of what is proposed is not going to come in for another year....and some of the things promised...like the boost in money for child-care, may not happen. It will depend on the re-election to power of this woeful government...it is a push me pull you animal....you'd think that the two coalition parties could drop their own agenda's for the good of the country....but no. It isn't the country that matters to them...it is their own hubristic political ambitions that drive them.
I'm off now to take the anti cynicism pills.
