  Running Time: 5:10 Date: 01/02/2014 Down to business again - time to check on our forecasts for 2014. Our resident economist, Professor Neville Norman of Melbourne University, still thinks the right course of action for the Federal Government - to ease its revenue shortfall and help take the Budget back towards surplus - would be to announce an increase in the GST rate in May. And he's equally confident that they won't bite that particular bullet, so short-term fixes are likely to be the order of the day. But what about his other forecasts for 2014? So far, so good.
