CANBERRA Customized Saints Jersey , May 12 (Xinhua) -- Australian federal Treasurer Joe Hockey unveiled on Tuesday evening the government's budget for year 2015-16, predicting a budget deficit of 35 billion AU dollars (27 billion U.S. dollars) this year.


The government had given up its rhetoric of bringing the budget back to surplus soon thanks to the further diving of the price of iron ore, the country's major revenue earner.


Hockey said the government expects to lower the deficit to 25.8 billion AU dollars (20 billion U.S. dollars) in 2016-17 and all the way to 6.9 billion (5.45 billion U.S. dollars) in 2018-19.


The latest budget highlights a 5.5 billion AU dollar (4.34 billion U.S. dollar) package to help more than 2 million small businesses in the country.


From Tuesday night, small businesses will be able to immediately deduct any asset costing less than 20,000 AU dollars ( 15 Cheap New Orleans Saints Jerseys ,800 U.S. dollars), a massive increase from the current 1,000 dollar (790 U.S. dollar) value threshold.


Another winner is national security, which receives 450 million dollars (355 million U.S. dollars) from the budget.


Of that, 296 million (233.8 million U.S. dollars) will go boosting the technological capabilities of the country's intelligence gathering agencies Hau'oli Kikaha Saints Jersey , while the new border protection service the Australian Border Force will get 50 million (39.5 million U.S. dollars) to train its officers.


The government will also give 131 million (103 million U.S. dollars) to the telecommunications industry to help it comply with the new metadata collections laws, which forces telecommunications companies to store the metadata of their customers for two years.


There will also be 22 million dollars (17.4 million U.S. dollars) for social media monitoring that will help counter the online extremist dogma of groups like Islamic State.


Australia's military operations in Afghanistan, Iraq and the Middle East will get a 750 million dollars (592.5 million U.S. dollars) boost in this budget.


Hockey also announced in his budget speech a 5 billion dollar ( 3.9 billion U.S. dollar) initiative to develop Northern Australia, which including Northern Territory and parts of Queenland and Western Australia.


The budget also includes a 3.5 billion AU dollars (2.8 billion US dollars) childcare package over four years. However, its funding relies on a cut to the families tax benefit once children reach primary school - a move unpopular with the most of the Senate crossbench.


The last budget by the Coalition government was hugely unpopular Vonn Bell Saints Jersey , which nearly costs Prime Minister Tony Abbott's job as some backbenchers from his own Liberal party called for a leadership voting in February. Abbott won the vote but subsequently switched positions on some budget issues to win back votes both from backbenchers and the public.


To ensure the budget passes the Senate, the Coalition has a lot of negotiations to do with the Opposition, the Greens and also the crossbenches.

Out-of-sorts South Korea face a Russia side desperate to prove a point in Cuiaba on Tuesday.


The Korean's fortunes have nose dived since the heady days of 2002 when they turned the form book on its head by becoming the first Asian side to make it through to the semifinals.-


But before reaching their eighth consecutive World Cup, they struggled in qualifying, squeaking home only on goal difference.


They also lost World Cup warmups to Tunisia Natrell Jamerson Saints Jersey , 1-0, and more worryingly a 4-0 drubbing- by Ghana last week.


Coach Hong Myung-bo is fretting over his Taeguk Warriors'- fate in Brazil, aware that defensive frailties will make the going tough for them in a Group H also containing favorites Belgium and Algeria.


Hong, 45, gained iconic status in Seoul after his side-footed- penalty took Guus Hiddink's- side into the 2002 World Cup last four.


He insists that rather than regressing Rick Leonard Saints Jersey , the Korean team has made progress in the last 12 years.


"The fact is that the quality of football in South Korea has developed a lot since 2002," he declared.


The Koreans arrived in Cuiaba on Sunday, 24 hours before Russia.


And before a training session- at a local university, -defender Lee Yong took time out to forecast what lay in store for him and his colleagues.


"It's true the Russian team are quite technical and strong. Maybe the Russians are physically stronger than Asian sides like us but we are well prepared for this game, we're focused Tre'Quan Smith Saints Jersey ," he told the hordes of Korean press.


"We're well prepared for the match," he pledged.


Unlike the Koreans, who are part of recent World Cup history's fixture and fittings, Russia make their return to the feast of soccer for the first time since 2002, when like in 1994 they failed to make it out of the group stages.


Under Fabio Capello Hau'oli Kikaha Jersey , who guided England to the last 16 in South Africa four years ago, Russia coasted through qualifying and in stark contrast to Tuesday's opposition are -unbeaten in 10 games.


They hold a psychological advantage going into the game at the Arena Pantanal as they saw off South Korea 2-1 in a friendly in Dubai last November.


Capello's crew set off for Brazil missing one vital component of their assault on the World Cup - captain, Roman Shirokov.


The 27-year-old midfielder's failure to recover from a knee ligament injury represented a serious blow to Capello's plans, with Rubin Kazan's Pavel Mogilevets- stepping in to -replace him.


Veteran defender Vasily- Berezutskiy- says the 2018 World Cup hosts are in Brazil to set the record straight.


"We have things to prove in this World Cup," the CSKA Moscow player Vonn Bell Jersey , who has 78 international caps to his name, said at the weekend.
