Mr Duncan, judging from your last rant, would you be a rusted-on Labor supporter? Sorry for pointing out the obvious. You spruik Labor’s mighty achievement of obtaining a surplus, but do you know the truth of how this eventuated? Maybe not, so I will enlighten you. Sneaky grim Jim Chalmers added the interest accrued from the Australian future fund, which helped them fall over the line. The coalition has never, and would never, stoop to this low. If they had they would have recorded a much greater surplus four years previously.
Good old honest Labor, you have been caught out being sneaky and unforgivably stupid. The travesty resulting from all of this is the fact no major media outlets reported this unforgivable act. How long will the voting public support this novice government?
How long will they condone Albo’s dishonest rabble?
