    “No Coalition budget handed down should avoid mention of the elephant in the room. That is, the build-up of debt.” My column in today’s @australian https://www.theaustralian.com.au/inquirer/budget-buzz-cant-hide-a-deficit-of-morality/news-story/2da5221a2f001b05506877bf67a35b9a … #auspol

        $800mil in debt for an economy as big as australia's is nothing. https://www.usdebtclock.org/world-debt-clock.html …

        It is almost incomprehensible how corrupt the Coalition has allowed itself to become. It is revealingly sad that there is not one Liberal or National MP who will put morals, propriety and Westminster standards of government before self-interest. Menzies' Party dies in the gutter.

        There's only so much money to claw back for balancing a budget by taking the last coins from the disabled and disadvantaged.

        But they already brought the budget back to surplus (*next year) They even made “back in black” coffee mugs! I’m so confused - if the Libs are such “better economic managers” as they always remind us, how has our debt grown so much under their watch?

        That "better" myth is well and truly dead.

        I'd read it if I could, but as I'm not a subscriber, I can't. I won't subscribe to The Australian.

        I have visions of Corman, Hockey etc ranting about debt and deficit disaster 8 years ago. Be interesting to replay those clips again.
