Visitica, much of that comment is delusional and none of it supported by documentation.
As of September 2013 Australia's public debt was just 12% of GDP, relative to other OECD nations that is not 'huge' and with the cash rate so low, easily affordable. In contrast the USA and UK had public debt at 100% of GDP and that for Japan exceeded 200%!
During the Howard era, pensions were virtually frozen as Howard's run-away inflation devalued them and they were also clobbered with his 10% GST.
As for the facts about Tony Abbott's rotten government; my records of the lies, the deceit, the broken promises, the blamming and shaming, the corruption and denials, the discrimination, the invasion of privacy, warmongering and so on now runs to almost 100 pages of Arial 10 point text with small margins! Now that's a fact!
