Might have lost my bottle had I seen this joker on the streets of Melbourne. I'm an older Australian retiree and I am utterly appalled at what they propose to do to young people, the vulnerable, the sick, and also older people on pensions. Not to mention cuts to our science and to foreign aid. And sending asylum seekers to Cambodia? It's a national disgrace.
Yeah right, because sending the people too Malaysia was a much better place, Where do you think the money is going to come from to pay back the 1.4 trillion debt Australia has?
Just realised that I'm saying the last words on this video! Didn't see any cameras - of course I was pretty shocked to see this chubby young man with such a sign in a working class street
The Brit guy is basically saying that we got the government we deserved because of our gullibility and political indolence (laziness). He is not a fan of Abbott. The lack of language comprehension skills among Australians will only get worse as an underfunded education system is dumbed down to Tony Abbott levels of stupidity.
I cant say i like the budget. But what Liberal is doing is FIXING the mess Labour put us in with their excessive spending and lies. The budget will be tough but it puts Australia in a better state for the future.
If you could SPELL the word 'Labor' you'd have some chance of making a credible argument. But I'm curious, how do you think THIS helps the country at all: www.abc.net.au/news/2014-05-13/budget-winners-and-losers/5433178 Cutting aid for the disabled, the sick, the homeless, the young, the unemployed, the working poor (whether they be farmers or even sex workers **that wink**), and the indigenous - *all the least able to pay these half a trillion in debts* ... in order to FEED THE MINING AND PRIVATE HIGH INCOME SECTORS: the ones who are clearly *most able to pay*. This isn't about 'fixing Labor's mess' (your use of the Liberal Newscorp Party's own repetitive chants shows how brainwashed you are) it's about kicking the country while it's down because Rinehart and Murdoch and all the LNP's other corporate benefactors want more money. Who do you think donated most generously to the Libs prior to Sep 7th last year? Who do you think Abbott is paying back with this budget? I've already given you the proof, now you need to put 2 and 2 together. The only thing this budget is 'fixing' is a straight course to a double-dissolution: and then after that, a better, fairer, _real_ Australia.
Oh the "Mess"? Are you referring to the time when the Labor Government saved our country from the GFC? Take a look at what happened in Europe and the Untied states. People lost their homes, city became deserted, youth unemployment dropped to 55%. By comparison how can you call Australia's financial situation a mess?
Thank you for the guy in the video that took the brunt of everyone's anger. Great point but please give a round of a hand to that poor guy. It would have been pretty hard to take.
Notice no one was willing to listen and learn, all just dismissed it because Shorten has told them it is bad, the country needed a responsible budget and that's what we got.
Before you get outraged at the English guy's comment, understand the economic situation in the UK since 2008 and all of the austerity measures bandied about over there. He very likely came to Oz partly for this reason and is regretting it.
If I talked like that in the Northeastern part of the US, I would not be allowed to work anywhere. Where I live, you might as well go to work as a substitute teacher with a t shirt that says "I fuck little kids" on it. I have worked for Jews most of my life. Some were assholes and some were not. If you feel so strongly about Jews, why do you hide your face behind a cartoon. Why don't you show your face proudly on UA-cam, they way that Adolph Hitler put his photograph in Meine Kampf. Do you really think that I have a large nose?
***** Yes I do do that, it isn't hate it's banter and banter is closer to love than anything. I am actually pretty wealthy and will inherit and extremely successful business when my father retires.
Damn thought I was being fucked around with that morning outside Flagstaff. Job well done, my bad to the guy I stared down, I feel like a douche now haha.
Didn't take it personally Thy - the hard part for us was staying in character with so many good folks like yourself giving us what-for! Hope to see you at the rally on the 12th!
I like how every one says F off and the guy in red gets in his face about working till his 70! I would hate to be Abbott trying to push this budget in a sign!
Well if anyone knows about economics, defense, workplace relations, resource sector, education, science, it'll be the inner city Melbournites...or at least they will think so.
Awesome. Love the suit! I love how everyone in this video is really pissed off.... but surely SOMEBODY out there voted for Abbott & Co and they need to own this shit!!
As funny as this was, I have to say that some people are exaggerating just a tiny bit. "My whole future is ruined because of this budget." Really? Anyway, don't blame me, I voted for Clive Palmer's guy.
I am not claiming to be on one side or the other on this issue. But I'd like to know: what budget, in the history of Australia, has ever been loved by the majority? Or even the minority? I can't seem to find evidence of any budget release, by any party, that was anything but a contentious point amongst the public.
Best budget for sure. Please fix Labor mess Tony & Joe. To hell with the entitlement society. Only people who don't want to work til 70 are people who hate thier jobs / lives & the bludgers. I look forward to Oz being back in surplus. YOU'RE WELCOME !
I'm a liberal supporter (liberal is waaay better for us farmers), but think the budget is ridiculous. So much pain from people who are struggling yet barely any change to the huge businesses with their hundreds of millions of $$$. I think every Australian would agree that the debt should be getting paid off, but not in the form of this intense, stupidly unequal, and disrespectful budget. PS: dont think that every liberal voter is "Liberal rich filth, scum, etc" so not true.
Amery Drage I know you commented quite a long time ago on 'Best Budget Ever' but I am interested in your comment that "liberal is waaay better for us farmers". I don't want to get into an argument or anything, just genuinely interested. Can you tell me what Liberals do for you and what Labor don't?
Best for whom is hardly even obfuscated of the animadversion away from egality, a fair go, as Joe Hockey "Puck" - "If you think I give a f*k, your midsummer night's dreaming" - would no doubt say.
The budget sucks, I'm a student who will be heavily affected by it. I would like to point out one thing. While I don't think this level of extreme budget cutting is the solution we do need to do something about decreasing the debt. I dont think that the students, the sick and the elderly should be the ones to be impacted the most. What is the point of targeting those with no money and very little ways of recieving money? Yes the debt needs to be reduced, but not by penalising those who can't afford it
Love the few comments on here from LNP voters who get their info from the Murdoch press and who think running a country is just the same as you and I running a household. You give us all a good laugh.
If you all want to burn your money up in debt go right ahead, the fact we spent 12 billion dollars alone on paying off debt this year to keep our money worth something and not useless pieces of paper is just absolutely ridiculous.
I agree, best budget for Australia, we have the 3rd fastest growing debt in the world according to the IMF and something needed to be done, it's time people stopped receiving handouts, it's not the governments money your getting as they don't have money, it's my money.
To the idiots complaining about handouts and calling this a responsible budget getting us back on track, do some research. This budget is not a great reduction in spending, despite robbing the states and divesting 80 billion out of health and education the budget only shaves less than 1% of GPD in growth of government spending. Money that would have went to education, scientific research for the economy, maintaining clean and safe streets, finding young people work to keep them off welfare, keeping the unemployed off the streets, sustainable management of river systems and hospitals is being funneled into the federal governments laundry list of pet programs. Programs like full paid parental leave(upper middle class welfare) at the cost of the NBN being built in perpetuity(for nothing), billions in secretive naval operations and bribes to island nations, 2.55 billion in gifts to the private sector to reduce pollution(it's like the cops paying you not to litter), 20 billion horded into some slush fund for medical research and 50 billion in road works(pro big business works covered public some use). Then you have to realise this is no cut at all, at best they expect merely to be heading to a surplus after 2018 and all they had to do was force the states into a postion of expanding the GST, rates, raising the pension to 70, taxing fuel at an increased rate every year, making you pay more to see a doctor, putting people on the streets and putting the Royal Mint, Medibank Private, Australia Post, Defense Housing Australia and other lucrative public property up for a fire sale. The Liberal Party are selling the house for cash upfront, renting it out and pissing everything they got for it against the wall, because, I dunno boat people are bad or something.
Compulsory voting has to go. So many people tick random boxes because they couldn't give a rats arse who gets voted. Those random votes end up messing with the votes that are from people who actually know what they're voting for and here's the result.
Why the hell are there so many racist people in the comments? I expected some people to be reciprocating their misunderstanding about macroeconomics in defense of the current budget, but why is everyone supporting this thing in the comments a racist or xenophobe? It doesn't make any sense, it's not only irrelevant to the topic but most people who support the budget aren't racist or xenophobic, they just misunderstand basic economics.
Too true they don't understand basic economics, any economics graduate working for labor can explain that to pay off debt you can just use a credit card, there is no need to reduce your spending.
Well, "Hooray4boobies" it's actually not as simple as that. Paying off dept by acquiring more dept (unless done carefully) can be very bad, countries that do this are at risk of "Greeceing" at any time. What you want to do is pay off just a little bit more of the interest every year. A comparatively poor country like Australia can't afford to do any more than that, holding everyone upside down and seeing what falls out is not an efficient way to pay off dept. The only other option would be to increase the taxes on big industries like mining such that Australia actually sees *some* of the money made from these industries. But lobby groups make taxing the rich nearly impossible in Australia.
Paul Brzeski Okay, but why are they supporting this? What does lacking a high school understanding of economics have to do with being racist/xenophobic? It makes no sense. One should not imply the other.
Why are Australians so aggressive? How come no one wanted to discuss the budget logically? Everyone was just like "FUCK OFF M8 BEFORE I DECK YA IN YA GABBA M8 GONNA PUT ANOTTA SHRIMP ON DA BARBIE!" This wouldn't happen in America. People would talk about it first, then threaten to attack you.
So many confounding points being made, so little of it is true though. From a mere youtube video, you have deduced the attitude of all australians on a budget i doubt you understand? either I'm missing something or you're a genius.
drummerson49 Don't be a hypocrite. Remember that youtube video of that British guy asking random Americans questions about the world? Remember all the black lash Americans got from it? You're not very smart, are you?
RuckaInc Thats irrelevant, completely off 'aggressive Australians and their budget' topic, and in a way you are defending your stereotype of Australians with the worlds stereotype of america. You cant even argue logically, and you debate the intelligence of others. Back to your real reasons of hatred for every other nation Mr. America, aggression frequently can and does occur in america over various things, most recently was the gun debate was it not? nothing happened there clearly.
It's funny to see all those bogan young people who are usually so apathetic to politics finally giving a shit now your centrelink is proposed to be taken away.
I have, I also have a degree in economics and it's appalling. It MAY have some slight (and I do mean slight) improvement in the budget bottom line in the very short term but in the mid to long term it's an absolute disaster. There are much better ways to go about it, that have been discussed in a good deal of detail but they have ignored it.
It's a Union website, it's on strike for more money and less work. They Union management would fix it but they spent all your union dues and hookers and champagne.
It's a piece of shit budget, but the guy selling Big Issue's looks much too old to be in the age bracket that's going to have to work 'til we're 70. And the reason we'll be working until we're 70 is because with modern medicine we'll live until we're 90, and you're not supposed to spend the last third of your life on pension. The retirement age is based on life expectancy.
Might have lost my bottle had I seen this joker on the streets of Melbourne.
I'm an older Australian retiree and I am utterly appalled at what they propose to do to young people, the vulnerable, the sick, and also older people on pensions.
Not to mention cuts to our science and to foreign aid. And sending asylum seekers to Cambodia?
It's a national disgrace.
Agreed! See you June 12 ?
Where and when. Was at last Sunday's March. Will be at this one.
Yeah right, because sending the people too Malaysia was a much better place,
Where do you think the money is going to come from to pay back the 1.4 trillion debt Australia has?
No.
*****
Oh I just posted that here? What is this "bogus", and how is it such?
Just realised that I'm saying the last words on this video! Didn't see any cameras - of course I was pretty shocked to see this chubby young man with such a sign in a working class street
That's my favourite part.
Good onya Susanna, your comment was pure gold.
They should have got clearance from you in order to publish this.
Good question Susanna. The answer is all of the above
And I think they are many people's favourite lines!
That British guy at the end gave me goosebumps, fucking right on random British guy who's in the economic faculty
Best line ever "are you stupid or plain evil?"
Shared, Tweeted, Blogged. This is Awesome!
I would feel safer re-enacting Bruce Willis's Harlem sign from Die Hard 3 than doing this.
"Are you just stupid or evil"? "What are you"? LOL.
The Brit guy is basically saying that we got the government we deserved because of our gullibility and political indolence (laziness). He is not a fan of Abbott. The lack of language comprehension skills among Australians will only get worse as an underfunded education system is dumbed down to Tony Abbott levels of stupidity.

Cutting aid for the disabled, the sick, the homeless, the young, the unemployed, the working poor (whether they be farmers or even sex workers **that wink**), and the indigenous - *all the least able to pay these half a trillion in debts* ... in order to FEED THE MINING AND PRIVATE HIGH INCOME SECTORS: the ones who are clearly *most able to pay*.

The only thing this budget is 'fixing' is a straight course to a double-dissolution: and then after that, a better, fairer, _real_ Australia.
So what you're saying is that the labour govt should've sat back and continue with a surplus whilst the economy was in a recession?
Hahahah you Murdoch-brainwashed idiot
Oh the "Mess"? Are you referring to the time when the Labor Government saved our country from the GFC? Take a look at what happened in Europe and the Untied states. People lost their homes, city became deserted, youth unemployment dropped to 55%.

Thank you for the guy in the video that took the brunt of everyone's anger. Great point but please give a round of a hand to that poor guy. It would have been pretty hard to take.
Kudos to the actor. What a legend for carrying it off so seamlessly.
Notice no one was willing to listen and learn, all just dismissed it because Shorten has told them it is bad, the country needed a responsible budget and that's what we got.
How is throwing pensioners, students, single parents, workers, immigrants, disabled and the sick under the bus deemed responsible.
Your right, don't throw them under a bus where there is space to move, wait a little longer with Labor in charge and allow the bus to hit them.
"you Australians deserve all you get" hey man, it's not like a the whole fucking country wants the budget
Before you get outraged at the English guy's comment, understand the economic situation in the UK since 2008 and all of the austerity measures bandied about over there. He very likely came to Oz partly for this reason and is regretting it.
Good Job ....Bring back the Chaser"s War on Everything program to respond to the budget.
1:10 Selling the Big Issue can't be described as a job
***** I'm not a Jew hater though but if somebody gave me that shirt for free I'd wear it.
If I talked like that in the Northeastern part of the US, I would not be allowed to work anywhere. Where I live, you might as well go to work as a substitute teacher with a t shirt that says "I fuck little kids" on it.
I have worked for Jews most of my life. Some were assholes and some were not.
If you feel so strongly about Jews, why do you hide your face behind a cartoon. Why don't you show your face proudly on UA-cam, they way that Adolph Hitler put his photograph in Meine Kampf.
Do you really think that I have a large nose?
***** I don't feel strongly about jews I was joking.
It's not just a cartoon it's a chinese cartoon.
***** Yes I do do that, it isn't hate it's banter and banter is closer to love than anything. I am actually pretty wealthy and will inherit and extremely successful business when my father retires.
It is a job. Those that sell it get 50% of the takings. That sounds like a wage, which means its a job
this is fucking awesome! didn't see anyone running up to thank him for the good news. :(
This is one of the few laughs i have about this budget - thank you so much :)
this guy needs the best troll award
I love it!
Ah, satire, what a relief, more effective and heaps more popular than ten serious videos...
Best ad ever!
Vote 1 Labor at the next election
Luke, this your best work ever. Keep at it!
Damn thought I was being fucked around with that morning outside Flagstaff. Job well done, my bad to the guy I stared down, I feel like a douche now haha.
Didn't take it personally Thy - the hard part for us was staying in character with so many good folks like yourself giving us what-for! Hope to see you at the rally on the 12th!
I can't believe how many people thought that he was serious.
I like how every one says F off and the guy in red gets in his face about working till his 70! I would hate to be Abbott trying to push this budget in a sign!
That guy has balls.
Well if anyone knows about economics, defense, workplace relations, resource sector, education, science, it'll be the inner city Melbournites...or at least they will think so.
Is it just me, or did anyone else want to hear more of what the guy at the end had to say..?
same .. I agree, about time the people did start getting heard ...wabbit needs to go !!
Awesome. Love the suit! I love how everyone in this video is really pissed off.... but surely SOMEBODY out there voted for Abbott & Co and they need to own this shit!!
I love some of the Americans commenting and they don't even know what's happening......teehee
Australians are fuming
As funny as this was, I have to say that some people are exaggerating just a tiny bit. "My whole future is ruined because of this budget." Really?
Anyway, don't blame me, I voted for Clive Palmer's guy.
PUT THE POLITICIANS ON MINIMUM WAGE AND SEE HOW THINGS BEGIN TO CHANGE!
We're 5 trillion in debt and everyone is putting their jobs before future generations.
What country would you rather be right now? Every developed nation in the world would kill to have Australia's debt levels.
I am not claiming to be on one side or the other on this issue. But I'd like to know: what budget, in the history of Australia, has ever been loved by the majority? Or even the minority? I can't seem to find evidence of any budget release, by any party, that was anything but a contentious point amongst the public.

Whilst it is a rather touchy subject, it's kind of ridiculous to see people believing that it wasn't a joke or taking him seriously.
the lucky country delusion finally wearing off
The budget ain't too bad. We have to pay back the debt somehow even if it's only 30% debt to GDP ratio.
am i still the only one around here who likes the budget
Reminds me of the daily telegraph.
Not the best budget. However, it is a really good budget.
Best for whom is hardly even obfuscated of the animadversion away from egality, a fair go, as Joe Hockey "Puck" - "If you think I give a f*k, your midsummer night's dreaming" - would no doubt say.
Clearly the man in the business suit is an actor poking fun at the budget. It's interesting how people fell for it while hurdling abuse at him.
1:07 Legend.

Australia's reaction to the budget shows just how stupid we really are.
Yay! Best budget!
I will vote the ALP back in if they offer us 10k stimulus straight up. Im sure the Chinese can spot them another couple of hundred billion.
If you all want to burn your money up in debt go right ahead, the fact we spent 12 billion dollars alone on paying off debt this year to keep our money worth something and not useless pieces of paper is just absolutely ridiculous.
so funny. Great responses from passersby.
I agree, best budget for Australia, we have the 3rd fastest growing debt in the world according to the IMF and something needed to be done, it's time people stopped receiving handouts, it's not the governments money your getting as they don't have money, it's my money.

We should have top economics do budget not politic follow their desires
Tony target everyone except rich
very very funny..........mate.....you must be a great fisherman.....you caught quite a few ehhhh ....ehhhhh
I 'm always amazed by the number gullible people!
I voted greens
good video
Take out more debt to keep all those on wellfare happy and let the unborn pay the bills + interest.
Equivalent to Bruce willis's sign in pulp fiction?
Compulsory voting has to go. So many people tick random boxes because they couldn't give a rats arse who gets voted. Those random votes end up messing with the votes that are from people who actually know what they're voting for and here's the result.
it seems that practically all those who support the budget don't know that it's spelt Labor Party. Till they learn that their credibility is zero.
Why the hell are there so many racist people in the comments?
I expected some people to be reciprocating their misunderstanding about macroeconomics in defense of the current budget, but why is everyone supporting this thing in the comments a racist or xenophobe? It doesn't make any sense, it's not only irrelevant to the topic but most people who support the budget aren't racist or xenophobic, they just misunderstand basic economics.
Patriotism used to be the last refuge a scoundrel, apparently racism is the latest manifestation.
Pauline Galvin I like that :) I think Oscar Wilde described Patriotism as a "Virtue of the Wicked"
Too true they don't understand basic economics, any economics graduate working for labor can explain that to pay off debt you can just use a credit card, there is no need to reduce your spending.
Well, "Hooray4boobies" it's actually not as simple as that. Paying off dept by acquiring more dept (unless done carefully) can be very bad, countries that do this are at risk of "Greeceing" at any time.

Where is the best Malcolm Turnbulls Mess one? I mean NBN.
YEAHHHH!!!!
Why are Australians so aggressive? How come no one wanted to discuss the budget logically? Everyone was just like "FUCK OFF M8 BEFORE I DECK YA IN YA GABBA M8 GONNA PUT ANOTTA SHRIMP ON DA BARBIE!"
This wouldn't happen in America. People would talk about it first, then threaten to attack you.
Bullshit
I disagree. It's an obvious observation.
So many confounding points being made, so little of it is true though. From a mere youtube video, you have deduced the attitude of all australians on a budget i doubt you understand? either I'm missing something or you're a genius.
drummerson49 Don't be a hypocrite. Remember that youtube video of that British guy asking random Americans questions about the world? Remember all the black lash Americans got from it?
You're not very smart, are you?
RuckaInc Thats irrelevant, completely off 'aggressive Australians and their budget' topic, and in a way you are defending your stereotype of Australians with the worlds stereotype of america.

I told you all to vote rudd you didn't listen, it's too late.
Would probably like this video more, if it wasn't made by union hacks.
Best budget ever
It's funny to see all those bogan young people who are usually so apathetic to politics finally giving a shit now your centrelink is proposed to be taken away.
So how many people here have read the budget? Just curious.
I have, I also have a degree in economics and it's appalling. It MAY have some slight (and I do mean slight) improvement in the budget bottom line in the very short term but in the mid to long term it's an absolute disaster. There are much better ways to go about it, that have been discussed in a good deal of detail but they have ignored it.
I hope he got danger pay!
That poor actor! To have nasty comments thrown at you all day.
Fair point
But Victorians saying shit like that on the street, on video isn't to appealing lol
Satire at its best ( must be)
I hate Liberals with a passion but 'This budget has ruined my entire future" is a bit extreme
The website's not working for me
We had an outage during the night Nicolas. Back online at www.bustthebudget.com or eepurl.com/U88-r
It's a Union website, it's on strike for more money and less work. They Union management would fix it but they spent all your union dues and hookers and champagne.
*Melbournians..lol
soap box 1:08
true the budget was just terrible
How is this the "Best Budget Ever"? Does it get out of the way of entrepreneurs?
1:18 if we deserve all we get and it's not a great country then why are you still here?!
That was four hours of footage in one and a half minutes. Show us a live feed next time and let's see the results. Bet most people don't give a fuck.
and he works in the economic faculty ?? what he to cheap to buy a decent jumper ??
This idiot must be suicidal!
Maybe if people look at the big picture they will see that the budget isn't that bad.....
wtf is a Budget
It's a piece of shit budget, but the guy selling Big Issue's looks much too old to be in the age bracket that's going to have to work 'til we're 70.
