"Would you care to weigh up the years of failures and successes of the RuddGillard governments? The failures were continuous and I don't recall them doing one thing right."
I'll go one better. 2008-now have all been very average years.
"You would claim they kept us out of the big crash, I don't agree but will cede it rather than get sidetracked. What else for six years?"
No I wouldn't. I would say that the Howard government's fiscal policies greatly reduced the impact on the on the economy. The Rudd/Gillard/Abbott governments have all done their part in increasing debt. Overall though when comparing to most of the world during the GFC, I think we did fairly well.
