From the editor's desk: The most important budget ever

In normal times the budget is a big deal but it reached new heights this year.

The past 12 months have seen an unprecedented amount of government involvement in everyday life, ironically enough from a party that would instinctively want a smaller state.

But the COVID-19 pandemic has turned the world upside down in more ways than one.

So the budget this year saw many businesses hanging by a thread and facing the prospect of three more months before things will really be 'normal.'

I have never even contemplated starting my own business but sometimes you have sit back and admire entrepreneurs.

It is such a huge risk that could go either way so regardless of how the business goes they deserve at least some credit for having a go.

As for the budget itself there were always going to be mixed response but I am glad at least that people know how the next few months are going to shape up.
