Corporate cheats – more money for the investment watchdog.
Illegal foreign fishermen – targets of new funding.
Our enemies – more money on defence and spies.
Party drug users – subjects of a new campaign.
Telemarketers – funding for a new "do not call" register.
And then you rub it in by complaining about your budget missing a few points on infrastructure.

The lucky country indeed.
