With the tug of war between returning to surplus to keep the ratings agencies happy and stimulating the economy in what we believe is a coming downturn, the question for future tax revenues starts to come into question.

Will they tax super over 60 at some stage over the next decade or so? I am not so sure this is out of the question.
With an aging population requiring higher medical expenses and a lower working population percentage in the future, Abbott's fantasy idea that we can have a Howard style era is just that, fantasy.
