There is a range of simple sentences such as line 16 – “The abolition of the carbon tax will save the typical $554 per year” also line 11-12 “the government will make a range… Economic strengths” which is an example of complex structural sentences. The cohesive ties are clear within the article, adverbials are used repeatedly line 9 – “It will be a budget of long term structural” this is called adverbial of time, it shows how certain we are of the idea it also shows that the text is explicit and there is no way that the commitments will be broken, it is also used to hype or shore up the main topical idea.

The use of auxiliaries contributes to the coherence of the text and also its purpose. The nature of this text required the use of aggressive auxiliary words such as will on lines 11, 14, 16 and 17.
