Just a little reminder for those with very short memories:
- Peter Costello became Federal Tresurer BEFORE the China driven mining boom, and in his inital period as Treasuer he had to:
(a)contend with the SE Asian Financial Crisis;
(b)fix the the fiscal imbalance left by the previous incompetent Labor Government;
(c)provide funds for the Gun Buy back scheme
and later, provide funds for:
(a)the East Timor Intervention;
(b)the Afhgan and Iraqi wars;
(c)the Ansett Airline debacle;etc. etc.
By comparison, 'Our Wayne' has enjoyed a fiscal picnic.
