Net debt
According to Australia’s Department of Finance, net debt in January hit $619.5 billion. Finance forecasts this to reach $691.9 billion by June and $812.1 billion by June 2022.

That compares with $161.3 billion left by Labor in 2013. Thus, the Department of Finance projects the Coalition will have more than quadrupled Labor’s net debt by mid-year. And more than quintupled it next year.

...

The Coalition has now added a staggering $543.9 billion to the gross debt – more than half a trillion – after promising to reduce it dramatically.

Debt per person
Using ABS population numbers, current gross debt comes to $31,744 per man, woman and child. That’s up from just $11,700 when this Government took office.

Future generations must pay interest on that for their entire working lives, unless it is somehow repaid.

According to the Department of Finance, interest on the debt this financial year will be $17,051 million. That’s $46.7 million every day. That quantum is not available to assist Australians who are sick, jobless, homeless or disabled or to help people in poorer countries in even greater need.

He's holding something, that's for sure.

Anglo Boris Johnson, Saxon Donald Trump and Protestant Scott Morrison brought POLITICAL stability.

You can forgive them for not fighting fires and dealing with a Medical issue as something that comes natural to Politics.

But the Left sure does because it's Politics is a disaster, that the Right have to save everyone from. 😆

Yes we saw them building during the George Floyd riots 

Every x Prime Minister has been awarded one.

Just like Charlie the award is completely irrelevant.

Twilight Zone.  Tsk, tsk, tsk...

He's right though isn't he?

I wonder if he was arrested later on?

Why's he wearing a baseball cap when it's cloudy and he isn't playing a team sport.

Take it off ! This isn't a sports field.

Righteous anger is acceptable

Righteous anger is a feeling of indignation, justified and morally appropriate, usually directed at injustice, wrongdoing, or harm. It's different from personal anger, which is often triggered by insults or grievances. Righteous anger is often seen as a force for good, motivating action to correct harmful situations.
