Would be great if we could drill further too – e.g. health is 110bn, then medical services is a pink hole of 107bn, and no data below..

Can you add ‘real person examples’ for some of the categories – I mean i’m sure it’s all gov jargon but what is ‘education not defined by level’ or ‘general public services nec’ – a mouse over explanation label or similar would be great.

Would be great to have an option to ‘input the tax you paid this year’ and then have the numbers re-drawn in proportion – e.g. on my 6K of tax paid 1K is in health, 1K in defence etc.

Keep up the good work.
