Thank you for your e-mail and for sharing your thoughts with us. Your
comments have been noted by Senator Milne.
They are appalled by many aspects of the Budget and intend to stand up
to Mr Abbott and block the budget measures that attack universal
healthcare, we will block the user-pays model for universities, and will
block the changes that disadvantage people on pensions, Newstart and
Youth Allowance.
Prime Minister Abbott has threatened to go to a Double Dissolution
election if the Senate doesn’t give him what he wants and the Greens are
prepared to give Australians the chance at a new election to let Mr
Abbott know exactly what they think of his attack on the most vulnerable
in our community.
We understand the anger and dismay people are feeling about the Abbott
government’s budget and the resulting call for the Senate to block
supply. But blocking supply is a step that would throw Australia into
chaos, it would leave hundreds of thousands of people without paychecks
and stop essential services in the community.
We can block the most harmful measures being proposed by the Abbott
government without blocking supply.
Blocking these budget measures in the Senate will ensure the changes
don’t go through and if it means another election, then so be it, we
will not let Mr Abbott get away with using the myth of a budget
emergency to dismantle the safety nets and rights that so many people
rely on.
