After the political stalemate surrounding first budget of the Abbott Coalition Government in 2014, Treasurer Joe Hockey has to chart a new course. Last year, both Treasurer Hockey and the Prime Minister said they had to make ‘hard decisions’ with some ‘tough measures’ due to the ‘budget crisis’ or ‘debt crisis’ they said they had bequeathed from their predecessors.

I don't know quite what Joe Hockey means when he talks about next month's budget. I don't know if anyone does.
The federal Treasurer has told Fairfax Media he's looking at a very nasty revenue shortfall thanks to falling iron ore prices and low wages growth resulting in weaker than expected income tax collections.
With a not untypical rhetorical flourish, he says "there seems to be no floor" on iron ore prices.
