The previous Labour government left the incoming Howard government billions in the red. Costello paid it off, then paid down all federal government debt 97 billion in fact. Then Costello put 60 billion into the futures fund, for the sole purpose of paying for future UNFUNDED federal government superannuation payments. NOW KEVIN DUDD wants to spend most of the futures fund on the broadband network, that will be a disaster again, but the Greatest of all the DUDD ventures.
Costello then left this Labour gov with 10 billion surplus.
This govermnet has blown QUARTER OF A TRILLION in two and a half years!!!!
