YES rehctub, Labor certainly IS in a position to question the Libs’ figures!

Crikey, where would we be if both parties didn’t scrutinise each others fiscal/figures/funding forecasts and promises... and they were all just taken for granted as being accurate?!

Ludwig, how could labor possibly find errors in anyone's figures, when they are out by about 100 billion themselves.

As I say, they have no right to question the libs figures. Others may, but not this labor government.

But if Labor was both way out with its own figures AND non-questioning of the opposition’s figures, they’d be TWICE as hopeless!!

No matter how far they are off the planet themselves, they should still be strongly questioning, scrutinising and criticising their opponents and demanding that they show as much evidence as possible for their costings. Well…. in the first instance, that they actually reveal their costings!!

I rarely agree with Christine Milne, but when she said this evening that there should be a requirement for costings to be released at the same time as the relevant policies are announced, I had to agree wholeheartedly.

Ludwig, while I also agree with that, what would the purpose of been, to have labor release their costings a year or so back, only to be now found to be about $100billion out.

Are you suggesting thatched labor released their costings that the libs would have found that $100 billion, and prevented it from being wasted.

My preference is for an independent forensic accounting firm to audit all parties costings, as that would take away the he said, she said crap that we all have to deal with.
