“We came to office in 2002 desperate to show we could manage the finances, although we were not always fiscally virtuous with windfall tax gains.”
Not fiscally virtuous with anything
Koutsantanus has racked up an extra $1 Billion debt every year since the last election
With all the spending on diesel power to get them out of the $hithole they've dug for themselves, we'll be hitting $15 Billion by 30th June next year
Not a bad effort seeing they are getting $1.7 Billion extra GST than they were 4 years ago Kouts is a loose cannon. Its a blight on the people that these guys have been returned year after year. However when the alternative is Steve Marshall it clear why this is the case.
The state badly needs a change, thats clear. But when the "change" is dressed up as Marshall led liberal party it doesnt look great.
Will be interesting to see the effect the X-man has on the current malaise towards both parties.
He won't and I'll tell you why (IMHO) It was easy for him to throw haymakers from 10 deep when he was a lone wolf but if he has balance of power, there will also be a large degree of accountability he is neither prepared for or armed with the necessary IP.
He's no good.
