Dopey To me your charts are out dated and incomplete,i'm not trying to be smart as i can't even post charts on HC. But % of gdp finishes in 2008 and doesn't include state debt and imo most importantly forecast debt if previous govt policies maintained along with previous govt projects/spending promises all would add to debt in the future at a time when i feel our economy is well lets use that stupid term'in transition' to what i still have no idea all you hear is we must be clever. As i said if i was abbott i would not have contested the election for many reasons,a couple the economy was on top of a wave ready to be dumped,and from day one the MPI was in contraction for the past 7 months in a row (can anyone really blame abbott for contraction and imo car assemblers would have closed anyway ford had already announced it),the spi also in contraction,agriculture drought and live export bans,mining for many years talk of over supply etc,and maybe combined with reasonable demand from china my have serious effects for our mining sector. Same federal debt finishes 2010,when if you really want to convince us turkeys post the important figures eg forecast figures if there were no changes to current expenditure,forecast expenditure/promises and forecast projects both state and federal and off budget.
ps i mention off budget because nbn did have potential to become very expensive,especially combined with inefficient roll out.
ps clever US 'big world news' to cut emissions from power stations from '2005' lol by 30% to 2030,all because they now have cheap gas and imo they will use this as a trade weapon.
