Jeez MI, that's a whole lot of personal attack for one nugget of argument:
"At best the Coalition had 18 months of the increased revenues from the so called "Mining Boom". The ALP were the ones that p***ed the lion's share of it up against the wall."
Wrong. The mining boom is widely considered to have begun around 2003, when Iron Ore prices started rising and mining company tax/royalty revenues with it.
