A few trivia questions for you:
- Which government spent the Liberal surplus bequeathed to it in 2007 within hours of taking office and then borrowed for the next six years like there was no tomorrow?
- Which government wasted billions on pink batts, the NBN, asylum seekers and the stimulus package (where even a simple dunny block or a shade cloth in a playground mysteriously cost many times more than it should)?
- Which government set Australia on track to reach a net debt of $1 trillion by 2037?
- And now, which opposition is refusing to pass budget measures aimed at putting this mess right?
- And which opposition is claiming there is no ‘budget problem’ and it’s all just a ‘distraction’ by the Coalition?
Yes, the answer to all the above is…
Labor: The party of economic incompetence since 1901.
