Don't bullshit me - someone who uses the word 'whom' is a dead give-away. You wouldn't last ten minutes in any garden shed, let alone a shearing shed.
You certainly get away with using the word "whom" in a shearing shed if you are the farmers son......and yes....I worked in shearing sheds as a kid.

Are you referring the money that Howard benefitted from due to the impact of the sweeping Hawke and Keating economic reforms of the 80's and 90's, and then claimed all the credit for?

That money?
Liberals should take plenty of credit for allowing those reforms to pass in the Parliament. Unlike the Labor party who blocked almost every reform legislation and tax cuts etc... during their recent time in opposition.

Not sure if serious.

FWIW they actually tried to block more than a few (and this after leaving the Hawke government with a secret undisclosed 10 billion dollar deficit).

And then claimed credit for the booming enconomy that resulted when they got back in power.

There have certainly been Labor (and Liberal) governments with poor economic records in the past, but the Hawke government wasnt one of them.

In fact, it was arguably the best Australian Federal Government (economically speaking) ever.
