        @BernardKeane Judith Sloan has been arguing for several years that a recession is essential for generating "true" reform.

        @TheKouk @BernardKeane Do they realise that recessions hurt the poor and disadvantaged. Not people like Sloan on huge salaries. Disgraceful.

        @BernardKeane didn't these people mock Keating for talking about "the recession we had to have"?

        @BernardKeane @SpudBenBean the right love economic downturns as it's easier to cut wages+ taxes for the wealthy as a pretend stimulus

        @BernardKeane Same could be said for ecological disasters, but I wouldn't wish lack of water/food security on anyone. Such a daft comment.

        Sure. I see the point. But at times opinion has lost the plot completely. Why do we disconnect from #lotteryofbirth @swcrisis @BernardKeane
