Well! Well! Well! Quelle surpris!

I've been documenting the irresponsible, profligate spending of John Howard's governments on this forum for years.

Howard will be remembered not only for the length of time in the job, but also for his waste of the massive windfalls from the mining boom.

For his part, Peter Costello will be remembered as the man who lacked the ticker to stop him from doing so.

Australia's former dynamic duo who did all but nothing about investing in core public infrastructure, forced the RBA to send interest rates through the roof to counter inflationary pressures they caused, who deprived public education of funding while bank-rolling private schools and sending us into two illegal decade long wars that wore out ouf naval fleet and burnt our Defence budget. The jokers who delivered welfare to the wealthy.

Now guess who is mentored by our most profligate PM ever and whose declared intention is to replicate his record?
