The surplus/deficit figures tells us zero about how well a government handles the economy, wage growth, living standards etc. The fact we are in a per capita recession is testament to that.

Sounds like traditional Greek economic policy to me. Just spend and expect the rest of Europe to bail you out.

By all means, compare Australia with Greece if you want to look like you don't know what you're talking about.

I was citing the Greece mess as an example of where uncontrolled spending leads.
The question is do we want the extreme left free spending devotionists to lead us there...

But yeah, we'll keep quoting budget figures like they mean something and making dumb analogies like:
"The labor government is the 3 weeks in Croatia throwing up off the side of a sail boat.
The liberal government is then the next 6 months back at home paying off the credit card bill."

LOL for a government who oversaw the massive housing asset price inflation in the 90's and 00's. That is what we are now paying for now with the final death-knell of manufacturing over the last ten years, retail struggling, various sectors of agriculture struggling, whinging about utility prices and council rates, because everyone needs to buy everything as cheap as they can to get by.
