Talk:2009 Australian federal budget

Various queries

Should there be a section on lost revenue? Should there be a section on policy being inplemented, to be (and when) Should there be a section on Politicking? Should there be a section on the Opposition budget reply on Thursday? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Liberalcynic (talk • contribs) 15:29, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Considering lost revenue makes up the bulk of the deficit, there should definitely be a section on that. Timeshift (talk) 15:33, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Absolutely, we need to explain why the deficit occurred. We need to write something on that.--LostOverThere (talk) 06:31, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Could someone get these photos from the budget document on the page: - File:Http://www.budget.gov.au/2009-10/content/overview/image/Appendix G 1.gif - File:Http://www.budget.gov.au/2009-10/content/overview/image/Appendix G 2.gif —Preceding unsigned comment added by Liberalcynic (talk • contribs) 13:20, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

They're copyrighted photos/diagrams. Either someone will need to create their own diagram based on those on budget.gov.au such as in MS Excel, or put them in to the article as text. Timeshift (talk) 13:30, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Crikey ref

I put in a ref from crikey.com.au... I assume that crikey is a WP:RS? --Surturz (talk) 03:59, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

In the past it hasn't been. But I would love to revisit the issue. Timeshift (talk) 04:34, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

I don't think so either. As an ex-subscriber to Crikey, its editorial standards are very low and all the articles in it are basically opinion articles and hence not reliable sources for anything other than their authors' opinion. Nick-D (talk) 02:37, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
