Abbott/Hockey made a complete farce of the budget and so much of the budget measures were refused by PH.
as for the Debt and Deficit emergency, the whole thing was nothing more than sophist rhetoric. specious claims which they ignored entirely once Abbott Gov was installed..... the Abbott/Hockey budgets showed how false was their claim as they then proceeded to deepen the deficits and increase the debt to double what the GFC expense had cost Aus.
I do admire your loyalty stayer but you really should be aware of the facts mate.
