        "There was never more exciting time to be an Australian"? You can't take on the opposition when you have almost identical policies and expectations. Both parties compete on the equality of outcome. During your time Liberals were proudly competing on the equality of opportunities.

        Louise, I am being sarcastic about the Turnbull's election slogan, last election. (That is why I put it in inverted commas.) Don't you remember the stupid election slogan which sounds even more stupid now?
