rehctub,

Until you can give mea dollar figure for the Abbott/Turnbull regimes floating an amarda of naval vessels around up north to chase away asylum seekers, then you are talking out of your hat.

That's beside the $1.2 billion per annum the LNP govt is spending to indefinitely detain and cease processing asylum seekers at our offshore detention gulags.

How about the $55 million Morrison paid to Cambodia to take 4 refugees? Good stuff, eh!

runner,

Another run-by sentence or two of dribble I see.

poirot, you conveniently forget, or arrogantly choose to ignore the fact that ANY MONEY SPENT on illegals is only occurring due to Rudd and labor's incompetence. Prior to the flamboyant arrival of Kevin 07, THERE WERE THREE!

As for the mining boom starting in 2005,as you have stated, it ended in 2015, so this means Costello had two years, labor had the remaining eight if my math is correct.

Furthermore, when Costelo was in there were more jobs than workers and confidence was booming, boy, didn't Kevin 07 and his incompetent follower make short work of that.

You will never see me criticize middle class welfare because I have long held the belief that those who pay the bills, should also reap the rewards while those who contribute little should be grateful for what they get while those who choose to contribute nothing by choice should receive minimal support. I see welfare abuse everywhere I go and it could be controlled so easily but no one has the balls because they all vote.

As for not taxing super, what, do you want those who supported the masses throughout their working lives, giving up so much along the way, to continue supporting them in retirement. A true under achievers position if ever I had heard one.

Remember, everyone has an equal opportunity to fail, some choose not to. Its just that those who choose to fail expect the successful ones to support them.

BTW, I see the media are starting to accuse him of waffling as well.

All talk, no action. He's just another Rudd.

Lol!....pointless rehashing the machinations between 2005 and 2015...we've been there a million times.

World economists (like those employed by the IMF) tell us that Costello mismanaged his part in a boom.

World economists tell us that Rudd supremely managed a global financial crisis.

Australia's handling of the GFC is the envy of the industrial world.

Ebenezer Butcher tells us they're all wrong!

Wrong - I tells ya!

Like I said, as an economist you make a great butcher....

yeah but still making more sense than your pages of waffle Poirot. Sure you are not related to Mr Turnbull.

You certainly chose your handle well on this forum : )
