Although the Labor Treasurer [[John Dawkins]] had presented a badly received 1993/1994 budget, Hewson seemed to not be making any momentum against the Federal Labor government as he had done in the previous parliamentary term.<ref>{{cite web | title=The tale of two budgets | website=The Age | date=2002-05-25 | url=https://www.theage.com.au/opinion/the-tale-of-two-budgets-20020525-gdu8ir.html | access-date=2020-12-17}}</ref>

The changes I have made on several occasions to Hewson's biographical entry reflect the historical fact that he made offensive, unsubstantiated racist remarks for short term political advantage & never explained how those remarks would have improved the lot of Aborigines & he was too cowardly to repudiate or to apologize for them.
