I remember the stock market hitting record highs while Hawke was in power
That was until the 87 crash
a crash that started in the US and flowed on to every other stock market in the world
A crash that no government anywhere was capable of stopping and those that made attempts to only made the situation worse.
But why let the facts get in the way of your deluded version of history.
the real worrying thing that comes out of your post is that there are people who use warped and deluded reasons such as this to base who they are going to vate for.
