I think you should do some more research. Rudd did his financial management on "plane napkins", then handed them over to the "worlds greatest treasurer".....wait for it.... Wayne Swan.... To implement them.
So when Wayne Swan introduced the MRRT(mineral resource rent tax) we found it cost more to administrate than taxes that it produced.
Wayne Swan initiated the decline of the mining industry prematurely in Australia.
Gllard was the PM who got free house improvements paid for by by the Unions in "brown paper bags"!
The ALP do not have to be good financial managers because they are support by the criminal elements of the Unions.
i.e. the mover and shakers of the ALP..... Bill Shorten.
