Swan couldn't make a surplus after multiple attempts, so he went after what he thought was an easy target (mining tax). This had the effect of helping blow up the govt and remove Rudd (with Shortens help of course). Forget what they say and look at what they do. A total dud who was giving an award from a bunch of left wing nuts for his work (the left love handing out awards to themselves and their comrades.) I guess Bowen is the next inline to get a statue built. Whitlam is a considered a God even though he was fired for incompetence.(shortens mentor).

the mining tax was a good idea in principle on "superprofits" but Swan wasn't intelligent enough to sell it to business or the community. He was financially illiterate.
