Last night Wayne Swann handed down his fifth budget as Treasurer. This is probably his most controversial, with carbon pricing, a surplus that may be more politically than economically sound, and a range of spending cuts that will hit most sectors.
While we don't know yet if there will be any impact on our own service delivery, there has been some good news in the federal budget for the Marion community.
Among the fine print was a significant sum ($3.5m) toward the construction of a community centre and library at Hallett Cove. This will be constructed by Marion City Council on the corner of Ramrod and Lonsdale Roads, opposite the two churches. This is something to look forward to, and something worth celebrating for our community.
