Wobbles, Howard also had:

The greatest sustained economic growth in history,
The lowest tax rates in history, (the high tax revenue was a result of the profitability of companies under the coalition),
The lowest unemployment in history,
The fastest growth in real wages (incl the lowest paid) in history,
Etc

Labor has
the highest carbon tax in the world,
Lower educational results,
Longer hospital waiting times,
Record levels of corruption and ministers facing corruption charges,
Zero policy successes.

P.S.
Housing affordability is the responsibility of the state Labor governments.
Trade deficits and business debt in a growing economy is usually due to industrial investment and in equipment imports,

Ministers facing corruption charges. We may be having a political party facing charges of conduct wasting the time of a federal court, amongst other charges.
At least they have done the right thing by giving it to the federal police to investigate.
The Thomson saga is a little shacky after requests to brothels to come up with some evidence, or film on Thomson ever being there.
It's going to take another 3 months to find out what Thomson is charged for.

OH how easy it is to be free when the money is not coming out of your pocket.

You'r a bit behind the times there that started this year.
Abbott wants a bigger one than that, he wants full wages for middle class mothers.
Do you have something against refugees.
If you think abbott can stop refugees you have rocks in ya head.
The only thing to stop refugees is a slowdown of wars. The problem is world wide and we get a very small percentage of the problem.

579 - Quote "Do you have something against refugees." YES the cost projected for 2012/13 is $6.6 Billion dollars - HOW MANY AUSTRALIANS COULD BE HELPED WITH THAT.
