"The BER has been exposed for having an agenda that goes beyond just stimulus".
By the time the BER was in full swing, as a matter of fact, before it was in full swing, or even worse, before it was even implemented, the Australian economy was already in overdrive and has since been forced to put the brakes on via interest rates courtesy of the Independent RBA.
Lots of pain now being paid by homeowners with a mortgage because Ms. Gillard and Mr. Rudd thought it would look "nice" to build school halls (couldn't or didn't have the research or balls to build "schools").
Now that this absolute mismanagement has been exposed we now have Ms. Gillard courageously stating that "well, you can change Banks if you want to".
Mr.Swan has also followed suit in blaming the Banks.
If they get away with blaming the Banks then the next step is to regulate them, already happening? Yes.
Then the next step is to get rid of this pesky "Independent" RBA ---- now we're back to about the 1970's I think.
