    1999 to 2010, a decade of low debt.

    Labor inherited $5b of debt, and left less than $8b of debt, (increased debt by $3b after 11 years of government), (Hockey only took a couple of months to more than triple that amount of debt).

    GSP grew from around $220b to close to $320b.

    You're hard to please, I'm sure lots of States would have liked to performed so well.

    Anyway the graph paints a different picture to what was being implied here on this thread about the previous Labor governments finances over their 11 years they were in government.

    I predict the $1.5b gift Abbott borrowed and gave Victoria to pad a LNP surplus will be paid back and will create a $1.5b deficit in the current budget.
