There are a couple of positive elements to this budget. I welcome the decision not to increase the level of excise on petrol and diesel. I disagree with what Senator Zappone said about private pension reform. As someone who worked in the industry for 15 years, I believe it is a good thing to cap what one can fund from a private pension without reducing the pension tax relief for most middle income earners.
