The rage maintains itself with the waste this government has been responsible for.

From The Australian:

According to the federal parliamentary library website, Australia's gross foreign debt grew from $8 billion in 1976 to $1.07 trillion in 2008, on which interest has to be paid in the billions.

Mineral and energy exports earn the foreign dosh with which to service those debt payments, rather more so than minor novelists, baristas, manicurists, statisticians or chiropodists.
