Federal Budget 2011

By Mark Dutton on May 12th, 2011

With multi-page liftouts in the major dailies, hours of television coverage, and nearly 3,000 items on a Google news search – there is an overwhelming amount of coverage of this year’s Australian Federal Budget.

Here are three summaries that I think will be helpful in focussing on the key issues:

1. ipac has prepared an excellent summary of the budget, which covers What it means for financial planning and What is means for the economy.
2. AMP’s Dr Shane Oliver has recorded a webcast looks at the economic environment which frames the budget, and the limited impact of announcements.
3. AXA’s Technical Services Manager, Amanda Abdula webcast provides a debrief on technical advice impacts of this year’s Federal Budget.

 Hope you find this information useful.
