Dear lapdog, There was not one Australian bank that experienced significant problems during the GFC. This was a northern hemisphere problem. Labor needed to make It our problem to justify the waste that led to the 'government that had lost its way ' period. All because Rudd wanted to SUPPORT 200,000 jobs. To do this the combined governments of Gillard and Rudd have spent 236,000,000,000. Smashing all pervious records for job creation programs They then continued to waste money because you could not stop them with a 4x2 piece of hardwood. We are not in the ranks of countries of debtor countries right back to the Keating days. Before you post such drivel again can u personally look at the mess the corrupted logic of labor has dumped on our country.
