debono - it has everything to do with this thread - answer this honestly: do recessions happen over an 8 mth period or is the lead up over a number of years?
yes, stop the blame games and get on with it, sure
do you think howard and costello would have done any better (bearing in mind, the header) - 6 interest rates leading up to the last election was putting us on course for our current predicament - and their leadership was in better times - rotfl
and yes, rudd and co have to pull their collective fingers out and start leading from the front
