7.30pm on ABC will be interesting.

Who's up for a game of 'spot the keywords'?

Will be counting "working families", "unprecedented economic times", "smashed revenues" and others of interest.

take a drink for every bn spent on popularist shit

take a drink for every bn into deficit

Predicting a hospital visit and subsequent charcoal-down-throat procedure for me.

Keywords:

- Working Families
- Tough decisions
- Unpopular decisions
- Alternative is to do nothing
- Unprecedented Economic Times
- Saving Australian Jobs

A drink for every time one of these are mentioned?
