Pecca,
it was the same here in Victoria,

Dan was a fiend and they still voted him back in. Roll Eyes

Pete's not a fiend - he's a very nice guy.

His government was always gonna be voted back in.

The real story is the Libs - it was a wipeout

All Labor Govts are:
high taxing,
high spending,
high borrowing.

Your great grand children will be born with a massive debt over their heads.

Every Liberal government makes that claim but then every incoming Labor government has to clean up the ecanomic mess the Liberal governments leave. Turns out that the Liberal rhetoric isn't supported by the facts.

3 decades ago (!), Howard benefitted from a mining boom fueled by China.

And 3 decades ago, centre-left Clinton (a Dem) achieved the same outcome in the US, but for different reasons:

(google)

President Clinton’s budget surpluses (1998–2001) were achieved through a combination of tax increases on high earners, restrained government spending, and a massive economic boom. Key factors included the 1993 budget deficit reduction, the 1997 Balanced Budget Act, "peace dividend" defense cuts, and tech-driven economic growth.

Times change.....but your govt. debt delusions don't change, which is why the democracies are imploding while the working class, abandoned by the mainstream Left, is looking to Pauline for salvation. Won't work, especially with blind mainstream Neoclassical ideologues like you forcing governments to balance their budgets.

(eg you can't explain why the currency-issuing federal govt. had to borrow money to finance the covid lockdown, a major reason for the current $1trillion Oz govt. debt.)

Now both Lib and Lab have to realize they are on the nose with the working class - who are confused enough to think ON will save them.

But the days of Oz running on fossil fuel are over, which is ON's achilles heel.

Meanwhile the housing crisis cannot be fixed in the market economy.

Oh dear.....

Yeah, but instead of Labor taking Hammond from the Libs for the first time in 60 years, the conservative seat turned to ON not Labor (Labor's Simone Baily was actually in front at the close of counting last night, but Lib. preferences will win the seat for ON. ie. if Labor preferencing Libs over ON don't maintain the seat for the Libs ....)

The Greens are moribund, the centre is dying, while Labor - in the centre - is a neoiliberal outfit who has abandoned the working class who have more immediate cost-of-living problems than to worry about climate change: Senator Roberts (ON) anti-renewables campaign is a winning policy for such people, because they remember coal-based electricity was cheaper than the transition to renewables is proving to be.

1. Can you identify the 'word salad?

Thank you.

2. How can a government of ANY stripe solve the c-o-l and housing crisis for the working class, if you insist on lower taxes and spending, and higher interest rates?

(Which is why the Libs are heading for extinction, while Labor is at least offering some (insufficient) relief for low-income groups).

2. Your inability to engage in debate is deplorable.

You should see the mess Dan left us in Victoria.

We owe more money than NSW, QLD and Tassie combined -
we're so bankrupt that the federal Govt may have to bail us out.
