for starters I find the un-Australian term which is so freely thrown about nowadays - usually by politicians - intensely annoying

what exactly does it mean other than trying to trigger some emotional response which means different things to different people?

I would call "un-Australian" throwing money about without any regard to consequence and letting taxpayers and exporters groan under the burden down the track. It was very apparent very quickly we had avoided the worst of the GFC (Chinese growth only dipped very briefly) yet the government went on its mad stimulus crusade...now we have a massive structural deficit, high debt levels and FX markets predicting higher interest rates as a result of inflationary pressures. This will crush the non resource export sector.

Now that would be un-Australian.
