Your silence leads me to assume that you fully support the recent budget handed down. 

This budget is unlikely to have a financial big impact on my personal circumstance. 

The underlying attack on the social fabric of your electorate with budget measures to financially hit the least able is short-sighted, socially destructive and cruel. 

There are numerous avenues to solve any ‘financial crisis’. 

It is difficult for me to find the strength of language to convey the disappointment, frustration and concern. 

Does the new budget honestly reflect your personal political philosophy for your electorate? 

Instead, are you compelled to silently support the budget initiatives? 

I have no political affiliation yet feel compelled to take a stance in this instance.
