Of course you do cgt as you were one of those special people 'touched' by the hand of gough.
Mackerras's list is subjective just like mine. I place a high importance on keeping within budget. It is one of the reasons Rudd and Gillard are ranked so low. And is also why Whitlam is right down there too. McMahon is there because he was obviously out of his depth. Like Gillard.
Sometimes I wonder how much a socialist politician can spend of other people's money before other socialists go 'hang on that's too much!'.
If I electioneer on a platform promising to double all welfare payments etc. and have a annual deficit of $100B each and every year will any socialist here say 'hang on that's too much!'?
Or can I quadruple all payments and have a $200B year deficit?
Where is that tipping point when even a socialist says Government is spending too much money?
