For those who have been around long enough to remember the disruptive spending government of Kirner and Cain who spent so much, and increased debt to the point that they were technically bankrupt and when the Liberal Party took over to rebuild they could not even sack people as they couldn't pay their redundancy or super as it had been squandered
In the same way in Qld, Petersen for all the mud thrown at him was basically not in debt and certainly made the state boom
