Not including the legally required sinking fund contribution; moving CS employees into different categories; deferring expenditures into 2024-25; the list goes on. There is no way any meaningful surplus will be obtained to allow any debt pay down. Too many other expense requirements – CS pay rise and rebuild critical infrastructure to name 2 major expenses that will come before any debt paydown, let alone more debt.

They ONLY way it will be possible is for gov to reduce its own expenses. Continuing to increase and invent new taxes won’t even do it.

It really is that simple. Manage. Your. Own. Finances.
