In it's so-far 109 year history, can anyone please tell me if there has ever been 1, just 1, ALP government, State or Federal, that left a legacy of less government debt when they left, than when they started.

Forget the current financial crisis, the last World War, or the myriad of events good and bad, I repeat, over it's 109 year history has there ever been 1 ALP government that has fulfilled the above criteria???

A - None, not 1, nada, nothing, zilch, zero, nix, naught.......

A few managed to balance their budget in a particular year, but that was the best they could do.

A shameful inditement, and a reflection of where this current ALP federal government is heading. We'll be paying this off for the next 10-15 years...........
