Lift up your hearts everybody.. Thanks Mr Scomo..

It's not a race and I believe in miracles.

we are very luck that miracle win happened In 2019 we could have come up Short En be in worse shape

Except you don't know that, you can only judge the cluster that is in front of us now.

Keep telling yourself that. 1 trillion in debt, three quarters of that racked up since 2013. Double dip recession. Held balance of power in both houses since then so they could enact policy to pay down debt, but didn't.

"Good economic managers." :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:

they have taken a leaf from Labor in the spending stakes
liberals build up the surplus and usually Labor spend

Mate, they are the ALP on steriods. The only difference is the ALP spent and made us the #1 economy in the world during the GFC. The LNP spent even more and got us into a double dip recession lol...


The millions of Australians that still are employed because of job keeper say HI!
The ALP rode on the coat tails of a Howard/ Costellos impeccable monetary decisions during the GFC.. that was until the ALP decided everyone needed pink Batts ??

The debt was shithouse before that, can't hide behind COVID. This is just the final nail in the coffin.

ALP in power for six years, 250 odd billion in debt. The LNP have been in power eight years and nearly racked up another 750 billion in top of that.

No public assets left to [This word has been automatically removed] off because Howard already did that (that's where your budget "surplus" comes from.)

Good economic managers.

more of albo's $300 vaccine thought bubble the country will well and truly be broke

You reckon the constant lockdowns and job keeper payments are cheap? But hey, don’t let logic get in the way of your partisan whining.

so the vaccine payment replaces lockdowns please no way Labor drop lockdowns and job keeper, they will just pay me $300 and I have already have a vaccination.
But hey don't let logic and hatred of the right cloud your judgement

Treasury estimates a week of national lockdown costs $3.2b

20m people vaccinated costs $6b

If you can't work out that vaccination rate increases means less lockdowns and reduced the need for top up payments like job keeper you must really be struggling.

I don't hate the right but dullards who can't see basic facts are what holds this country back.

And which monetary decisions would that be? Weren’t the LNP opposed to stimulus back then? Some people on here may be old enough to remember the appalling job Howard did as treasurer and the actual macro economic changes Hawke/Keating accomplished.

ah yes the recession we had to have, Keating was a shocker

How many OECD countries do you suppose avoided recession in the late 1980s?

If that $300 convinces most of the 14% of the country that aren't sure whether they'll get vaccinated that along with the 79% already intending to get vaccinated takes our vaccination rate above 90%. Hospitalisations down, transmissions will be down and less likelihood of mutations. COVID becomes like a flu season.

Extreme right wing Craig Kelly has today joined his mate Clive Palmer and his party.Birds of a feather flock together.Another potential disaster on the horizon

Clive 'Couldn't even buy a seat after spending $83,000,000' Palmer? Excellent.

According to the BBC website the Australian government has evacuated 50 Afghani female soccer players athletes and their families from Afghanistan.
This would be a very rare case of our government doing something right

I have zero problem with these soccer players getting out, but I would hope and assume it is after we get every Aussie out and every Afghani who worked with the Aussie military out first.

It's interesting that two Tweets in the last hour have inferred that Scummo is looking to call an October or November election? Anyone else picking up this vibe?

No, not at all. First reason is I can't see the current climate favouring the Coalition. That's in spite of incumbency favouring Palaszczuk, Andrews and McGowan in recent state elections. Second, and much more important, How could you hold elections in over half the country without creating super spreader risks everywhere. Elections are not great opportunities for social distancing.

Clive 'Couldn't even buy a seat after spending $83,000,000' Palmer? Excellent.

But that wasn't his overall aim, which sadly he got through the advertising and preferences those millions supplied.

Anyting but another mob of the LNP/ALP/Greens Great Reset clowns/puppets, is way better from what we have now!

I would never be surprised at the lengths Morrison would go to if he thought it advantaged himself, including sacrificing others. Still, that option seems out there and particularly so whilst covid remains a threat to children.

I expect that the newly vaccine approved cohort of 12 to 16 year olds will be included in revised 70 and 80% opening up numbers as his targeted polling will suggest it.

Any decent leader would be in an extremely dominant position during this pandemic and the former liberal staffer Niki Savva says it well with: **“Morrison has a habit of allowing problems to become crises before mishandling them.”** in describing why he is not a shoe in.

Poor old Nikki, I don't think any Liberal would ever measure up in her eyes to Peter Costello or John Howard. She's not a big fan of Morrison.
