This budget an easier sell, Lib MP says

This year's budget is an easier sell than last year's, Liberal backbencher Craig Laundy says.

Liberal backbencher Craig Laundy says the sales job for the Abbott government's second budget has been easier than last year.

"A lot of those measures weren't liked and it was tough to keep standing in the front lines and prosecuting the case for change," the member for the marginal western Sydney seat of Reid said.

This year's budget has been an easier sell, although voters are concerned about changes preventing "double-dipping" on paid parental leave, he told ABC Radio on Wednesday.
