MUNGO MACCALLUM. Australia plummets below GreeceScott Morrison's surplus obsession is hurting the economy
Scott Morrison's surplus obsession is hurting the economy
If the Prime Minister keeps playing politics while doing nothing to stop the economy sliding into recession, nothing will save him from voters' wrath.www.smh.com.au
In opposition this government warned us that we were going to be the Greece. Looks like on their watch they've managed it.MUNGO MACCALLUM. Australia plummets below Greece
At last Scott Morrison’s torpid government realises that it is in danger of being mugged by reality.
Not yet, of course – there are still a few peaceful weeks in which ignorance will remain bliss, in which wishful thinking may be preserved in the hope of another ScoMo miracle. But after last week’s report from the International Monetary Fund, it is no longer feasible to pretend that the Australian economy is in safe hands and can continue to muddle through without at least a modicum of intervention.
----
Even Morrison is wavering – he has suddenly discovered that surplus is not just an end in itself, but an economic tool – perhaps like himself.

Like I said, not interested in the minutiae of tax brackets.
"Mediocrity"?
OK now you have displayed your ignorance. Embarrassing.
On almost any metric of quality you care to name, the Nordic states are top of the world. You couldn't get a more high-achieving bunch of countries.
You really want to continue this discussion seriously?
As to your other points - since when is size, or heterogeny a barrier to implementation of policy? What a weird thing to raise.
What a weird post. You seem to be saying Australia is the better place for people prepared to work hard but the Scandos have an unfair advantage because they work hard. And you still haven't explained why population size is a barrier to implementation of enlightened policy (or indeed, any policy).If your a talented hard working individual seeking to accumulate a large amount of wealth are you best off in a scandinavian country or Australia ?
The scandinavian countries are resource rich countries, with small highly densed populations. Our resources on the other hand are spread out much more widely both geographicaly and with a larger population.
Scandinavia also share social norms which allow them to succeed which we could only dream off. Their positive attitude too hard work is something to admire as they are a nation of lifters while we are a nation of lifters and leaners.
Still hasn't provided evidence of wealthier and more educated people voting Liberal.What a weird post.

I'll give him the wealthier partStill hasn't provided evidence of wealthier and more educated people voting Liberal.
Wowee, onya Penny, keep chipping away at this
Nope tearing up the pre and post election dynamic and onward and upwards to unity..darn that truth bubble..Not long. Reminds me of the Futurama episode where the water emperors keep drinking each other.
End the battle of moral criteria..we all do have imagination and strong health awareness..I'm tempted to say this could prove extremely troublesome for Morrison, but his supporters are such a bunch of barrackers I don't think they are remotely troubled by him associating with protectors of paedophiles.
None of the moral criteria they would apply to his opponents are ever applied to the side they barrack for.

We need to start living within our means and this government has a returning to surplus.
Whenever he wants to talk about economics, he presses the "Dial A Troglodyte Cliche" button embedded in his skull, and they just come tumbling out in random order.are you for real?
all well and good that the govt has a surplus...now go tell the 20mil or so with extraordinary credit card and household debt to balance their books! good luck with that, it's the average Joe that is drowning in debt because the govt encourages the average Joe to spend money they don't ******* own, or have no means of ever repaying.
we're well past the "living within our means" stage. The only logical outcome is to burst the bubble and start fresh. The banks need to bleed and average Joe needs to lose everything to realise how stupid this entire system has become, nothing more, nothing less. Yet the govt is still sprucing house prices and you're talking about "living within our means."
Libs would be sitting on the opposition benches but for him. Morrison is hugely in his debt.Someone wants to collect their chips - https://www.theguardian.com/austral...for-mine-four-times-size-of-adanis-carmichael
This country is as corrupt as any in the world - and Dutton and Co have the hide to accuse China of not sharing our values. Maybe China is not corrupt enough for them
Wait, what! They're brown!!??!!Hating Brown people is not cheap
or maybe labor would be government if they hadnt run with silly platforms.Libs would be sitting on the opposition benches but for him. Morrison is hugely in his debt.
Considering Pell/Catholic Church etc, it won't beI'm tempted to say this could prove extremely troublesome for Morrison, but his supporters are such a bunch of barrackers I don't think they are remotely troubled by him associating with protectors of paedophiles.

More proof that we need to remove the endless tax payer funded appeals that prevent us deporting people who are clearly not refugees.
