Some of us weren’t far off with the gambling levy, being an online service after all.
Actually some solid proposals there, I’m impressed.

2 million taxpayers <s>earning under the bottom threshold get nothing</s> earning under $30k get nothing to $2 per week, while the $1.5bn public transport half price fares scheme targeted to them is scrapped to give to higher earners.
It’s classic taking from the poor to give to the rich as usual.
Not to mention baking in a reliance on foreign House purchases and gambling to fund it all.
Eh? How is there two million people earning under the bottom threshold?

The lowest tax bracket is $14k, that chart doesn’t show anywhere close to two million people earning that little.
Oh whoops, youre right. 2 million earn under $30k, which is where the tables in national’s policy doc start. Under $14k get nothing, $14k to $30k get $2 a week.
I’ll give them some credit though, they’ve ruled out removing the new top rate labour put in, at least in the next term.
