Nice try Boffin1979. Heres what is amusing. At a time when Australia along with all the major economies of the world are borrowing to cover stimulus packages weve got a few conservatives inferring such packages are unnecessary and putting out the spin about the fact that at some time in the future it will need to paid off. Absolutely brilliant deducing I must say. Most people in Australia knows the focus at the moment is to keep the economy from collapsing in a heap and that the deficit can only be reined in by future prudent fiscal policy and through extra revenues that will come as the Chinese, Japanese and US economies recover. You actually dont need an IQ of 135 like Rudd has got to be aware of the aforementioned.
