Much as I hate to say it, on the surface this appears a pretty solid budget. Growth is being stimulus by the changes for businesses and a significant amount of money GO was banking on has been lost by the fuel price drop (especially looking at the aggregate including the proposed increase this year, now scrapped), so fair play.
There's definitely a comparison, as someone mentioned above.
Listen to Exit Music From A Film, then to Bigger Stronger. There's something in that, at least, and probably more if you sat down and compared their early works.
