This has always struck me with Labor leaders. I can ALWAYS predict what their response to an issue will be because its ALWAYS the populous decision, not the best decision.

C'mon Maka your leftie audience are highly intelligent individuals so dont insult our huge brain functions.
Populist decisions arent a labour thing. Its a PM vs Treasurer thing. The treasurer always counsels against populist decisions but is always outvoted by the PM. Read Peter Costello's biography. Read John Howards comments when Treasurer during Malcolm Fraser's 8 yrs of budget deficits.
Do you think John Howard's baby bonus & first home owner grants were rational economic decisions or were they populist decisions?
