South Australia may lay claim to being the forgotten state in the federal budget.
The Commonwealth has ignored the state's calls to restore funds slashed from health, education, pensioner concessions and local government in last year's budget.
Nor is there any commitment to build the next fleet of submarines in Adelaide or any promises for major new infrastructure spending, the budget instead deferring $130 million previously allocated to a road project in Adelaide.
The budget has confirmed previously promised funds to upgrade South Road and the Darlington interchange but has not offered more assistance for the car industry ahead of the closure of the nation's three car makers.
Overall commonwealth funds to SA will increase as the state's share of GST funding climbs to more than $10 billion by 2018-19.
But the outcome has left SA Treasurer Tom Koutsantonis feeling dudded.
"What is clear from this federal budget is that the commonwealth and state governments are at an impasse over how we should fund the high-quality services all Australians need and deserve," Mr Koutsantonis said on Tuesday night.
"After the damage inflicted last year, we needed this federal budget to be a success.
"It needed to right wrongs and focus on restoring the confidence and trust of ordinary Australians."
Business SA welcomed the budget's assistance to small business including cuts to company tax, deductions for spending on assets and the streamlining of business registrations.
"Tonight's budget will give small businesses the kick start they need to grow, invest and create sustainable jobs," Business SA chief Nigel McBride said.
