Sure there is. You talk to you local members (both upper and lower houses) and tell them this budget [rocks/sucks] and that if they act appropriately they might just get your vote next election. Also, talk to the independents and tell them how you fell. They may not directly represent you, but they wield some power and at least they can vote their own mind, instead of the parties. The Budget is just a proposal that still needs to be passed by both the lower and upper houses of parliament and until such time it's just a proposal, nothing more.
