"Just exactly what qualifies an ex trade union hack or a socialist leftie to manage the Australian economy?"
You missed out brainwashed greenie stooge...
It is obvious that the fact that the person is "an ex trade union hack or a socialist leftie" IS the prime qualification.
Need to have only players who understand what the important issues are on the leading team.
Of course some of the important issues are currently:
- looting of the Australian economy- cash from tax-payer into union bosses and their cronies
- establishment of an enduring structures (independent of future government policies as far as possible) to ensure a the continuing cash-flows into union boss and their cronies pockets (can you spell NBN?)
- introduction of unworkable, anti-human socialist policies
