Bill Shorten's Budget Reply - Make me a believer!

Well, Bill did his reply...almost 600 more words than Hockey and a load more retorical questions. Got sick of replacing question marks in my word cloud code :-)

Anyway, top 10 nouns in the cloud (i'm taking the Budget as a noun)

Budget - 49 times
Prime -  35 times
Australia - 34 times
Australians - 30 times
Labor - 28 times
Minister - 26 times
People - 23 times
Australian - 21 times
Family - 17 times
Government - 15 times

Contrast this to the top 10 nouns of Hockey's speech

Government - 30 times
Budget - 29 times
People - 21 times
Billion - 20 times
Year - 17 times
Years - 12 times
Australia - 11 times
Family - 11 times
Nation - 11 times
Research - 11 times

So we have the common words
Government
Budget
People
Australia
Family

Which leaves the Govenment focussed on Billion, Year, Years, Nation and Research vs Labor's Prime, Australians, Labor, Minister, Australins.

Do you think Bill is focussed more on the Prime Minister, that he (Shorten) is from Labor and appealing to Patriotism, whereas Hockey seems to be more about dollars, timeframes, the nation and Reasearch.

Guess that is the difference between a Budget and a Budget Reply!

Top 10 verbs of Bill's

Will - 42 times
Cuts - 12 times
Make -12 times
Believe - 11 times
Can - 9 times
Tax - 9 times
Cut - 8 times
Pay - 8 times
Support - 8 times
Work - 8 times

Hockey's verbs

Will - 83 times
Build - 22 times
Can - 12 times
Help - 12 times
Work - 11 times
Fund - 10 times
Contribute - 9 times
Tax - 9 times
Start - 8 times
Support - 8 times

Take out the common elements of Will, Can, Tax, Work and Support
So you have  Hockey is talking about Building, Helping, Funding, Contributing and Starting; whereas Shorten reckons its all about Cutting (twice), making, believing, and paying.

Maybe this means Shorten thinks it's all Make Believe!
