It is a blatant denial of history for Scott Morrison to allege that the Labor Party cannot manage the economy when he knows the design and structure of the modern Australian economy was put in place exclusively by the Labor Party.
Through the flexibility engendered by these major structural reforms – the floating exchange rate absorbing the external shocks, the open financial markets, the reform of the tax system and the suppleness of an enterprise-based wages system – Australia has experienced an unbroken 28 years of economic growth. An outcome unprecedented in the developed world.Not one of these path-breaking structural changes was delivered by the Liberal Party.
Let’s examine what the Prime Minister declares he has on offer as an economic strategy for the next three years and beyond. As far as we can see, two things and two things only: a trickle-down economic policy where if the wealthy accumulate more wealth, some of it may trickle down to the workforce; and unfunded tax cuts five years away.
But it is now more than 20 years since the era of the Hawke and Keating governments. While we are proud of the achievements of our governments, the baton of reform is being grasped by the next generation of Labor leaders. Bill Shorten’s Labor Party presents the most comprehensive and well thought through agenda any opposition has provided to the Australian people.
It was LABOR that saved OZ from a RECESSION whereas HOWARD became the GREATEST TAXING PRIME MINISTER!! SCOMO is NOT far behind HIM!!😠😠😠😠😠
Well - if these two 80’s hasbeens are chummy and no longer knifing each other in the back - then surely we can absolutely believe........... not sure in what? I’m not sure really - can we wheel a few more relics to try and help me make sense of this please.
Poor Scott, way out of his depth in his position as PM.
I can't say for the 80s but it is a irrefutable fact that the Labor Government kept Australia safe from the 2008 GFC when all other economies in the world were crumbling. ScottMorrisonMP only admitted we are currently in deficit when being called out Liars auspol
Haha No. back in your boxes boys
