coalition budget cuts
As I thoroughly expected, all the leak stories over the past few months have become "not as bad as we thought" on the actual budget cut day. I had a feeling all along that this was an intentional leak of scare stories so that when the big day came, it wouldn't be as bad and people would breathe a sigh of relief. Very Orwellian, they may as well have raised chocolate rations while they were at it.
