"We don’t know what would have actually happen if the stimulus was not used but economic modelling" - spoken like a true public servant who has never spent a second working for a living.
Would this be the same "economic modelling" that was based on an unpublished paper by Broda & Parker? Was this modelling conducted by the same department that has FAILED to "model" every yearly revenue figure in the Rudd/Gillard era?. Was this modelling conducted by the same department that forecast a 10% increase in revenue in the same year as the biggest anti-business tax every seen in this country?
Why don't you speak to Treasury about the multiplier effect on $8,000,000,000 per year of net interest payments. Ask them to punch in the figure once the Australian Bond yield returns to trend!
