Time to thank Abbott and Turnbull for a lowering unemployment rate and rising GDP all in an environment of a poor global outlook.

what exactly did they do?

They created the worst Government in the history of our nation.

the worst Government in the history of our nation.

Indeed.

Yes the only Australian government that has had a study done showing that this is a fact based on their poor performance in all areas.

That is the relativism argument. Whitlam sure had some duds on the front bench and was naïve not to see what his opponents were planning. Even though he was dismissed and trumped at the ensuing election, the Fraser government turned out to be far worse no matter what metric one wishes to use.

After five pages that's normal around here. Anyway, the primary factor for the decline in unemployment has already been posted earlier in the thread with barely any notice.

Unemployment is slightly down simply because wages growth is near zero. In the end, just a symptom of declining productivity where lower costs of labour displaces capital. In case nobody has noticed, total factor productivity has been on the slippery slope for about 17 years now.

One day the penny will drop.

Maybe you're right about the cause of employment decline - but there are other causes as analysed by other people.
