With Frydenberg locking in deficits for at least 15 years, no.

Yeah but that was known when they made all their promises - so one can only assume that shouldn't  be a problem

Yeah but that was known when they made all their promises - so one can only assume that shouldn't  be a problem Labor hasn't promised surpluses. In fact the LNP attacks the last 3 days were over Labor promising an additional $7.8bn above the LNP over next 4 years.

They promised lower family taxation for working Australian families. And wage increases to at least match inflation. And cheaper power bills. And to fix the NBN. And to provide better Aged Care - patients & workers. And make housing more affordable. And provide 30,000 more social housing per year. And improve Job Security. And give more money to the ABC. Improve the NDIS, And more funding to Close the Gap, And Help Older Australians, And reduce emissions. And increase funding to TAFE, Universities & Public Schooling, And increase the pay of educators, And give additional support to Small Business, And improve our National Security, And cheaper childcare, And support the rebuilding of local manufacturing, And better support Regional Australia, And have about 50 enquiries, And relocate low lying areas of the country, And improve support to Veterans, And.................................

All costed.

Or $100M to Angus and his mates for non existent water rights etc etc

PT & Rusty - how about we commit to ticking items off that list as Elbow knocks them over.one by one 

Fair call Furious

Speaking of Penny - she seemed to have very red cheeks when she spoke last night. Almost glowing. Maybe already had a few celebratory reds 

Anyhow rest assured you will get an honest commentary from the like of Baghdad & myself on this thread. 

Its a touch ironic that the ALP's Shadow Minister for the Environment didn't win her seat.  Hardly a massive endorsement for Elbows Environmental  blue print.

Default option

Oh well when its all said and done, Australia wanted change. Congrats to Albo. What a great country we live in...that a boy who lived with his mother in state housing and now fast forward to now and he is Prime Minister. Great story it is. Hopefully there can be positive change for Australia over the next 3 years. Well done Labor. 

C'mon you lot - I think i deserve a bit of credit. I'm like one of those bar room brawlers with a few too many pints in me - taking on all-comers. Just a matter of time before someone blindsides me & knocks me arse over
