I do love Budget speculation! Drives me a bit batty really.

All of this talk is just that - speculation. Whilst I'm sure the media are acting on whispers they are hearing, some people find it very upsetting and confusing because they think it's really happening rather than just whispers. Sunrise also couldn't get the name of the benefit right, calling it by its old name. Doesn't give me much confidence in the media really.

That being said, I'll be a very cranky staffer if the CCR is modified. After all, I'm the one who takes the cranky phone calls and responds to the cranky emails.

The Budget is released on May 13 so we will know more then.
