    About this ebook

    We are told there is a debt crisis - but there isn't. We are told we have to slash spending - but spending is not the problem. In this article Skye looks at the Australian Budget in 2014 and discusses the truth behind the lies, and looks at how we might make cuts, if they were necessary, by starting at the top.
