The Ruddy Duddy/Jill/Ruddy Duddy Federal Labor Governments were the most incompetent, and fiscally reckless, Australian Federal Governments in my time on the this earth. One might even say, worse than that other grossly incompetent Labor Government, under gutless Whitlam, who was supported, for a while, by a Treasurer who preferred to spend his time 'with the love I had to have' (and no, it was not his spouse) rather than look after Australia's fiscal needs.
The Whitlam Labor Government chased a ME fiscal mirage run by a crook ,whilst the Rudd/Gillard Governments were very successful in turning a multi- billion dollar Surplus into a multi billion dollar Deficit, and still rising, into the fiscal stratosphere when they were, rightly, kicked out of Office.
And some international drone, gave the Federal Labor Treasurer a gong for spending all the money his Government INHERITED from the outgoing LNP Federal Government. And it kept spending money they didn't have, and passed on ever rising expenditure commitments, and Deficit, to the incoming LNP Federal Government.
