@Sailor FNQ; one terrible decision doesn't excuse another terrible decision and boy what a list Dutton and Co have chalked up:
. JobKeeper rorts on steroids - $85 Billion so poorly administered $40 of it was rorted
. Taxpayer funding for so-called '
private schools' - $25,000 ps x 1,500,000 = $37,500,000,000 [almost $40 Billion wasted].
. Unprecedented waste on defence procurement - seventy-two $40m F35s that don't even come with a warranty our warmongers deploy everywhere except in Australia, $10 Billion naval ships that just keep on breaking down at sea and having to be rescued by the Chinese, submarines that can't be used due to corrosion, choppers that crash, ...
. $365 Billion for nuclear powered submarines the US will control and for which we have no need.
. $360 Billion for nuclear power stations which cost ten times what renewables do to operate - then there's the decommissioning bit!
Small wonder the Coalition quadrupled Kevin Rudd's GFC debt and had it on track to exceed a $Trillion prior to the intervention of Chalmers and Gallagher.
