As we are in a budget deficit crisis (OMG, OMG), to solve it, Abbott will cut corporate taxes, for the common good. Yes, dear reader, believe it or not, Abbott re-discovered that wonder of economics: the "trickle down".

And however dead, cremated and buried, a WorkChoices by any other name would smell like shit. And something definitely smells bad.
