Fed: Coalition will block several budget measures: Nelson

Federal Opposition Leader BRENDAN NELSON says the coalition won't block budget supply
in the Senate.

Dr NELSON says his party WILL oppose several budget measures .. including tax increases
on alcopops and luxury cars .. the FuelWatch scheme .. and the increase in the Medicare
threshold when parliament resumes.

But he's told Network Nine this doesn't mean the coalition will move to completely
block the budget supply in the upper house.
