and I agree wholeheartedly.
I think the government was determined to get back to surplus the day Wyatt Roy said in Question Time that he had never seen a surplus under Labor. I agree with you. We dont need to be in surplus and the government painted themselves into a corner by promising it. I wouldn't trust the economists though. When the carbon tax was being introduced an absolute majority of them agreed that it was economically sound. Where are they today? Do they still believe what they said over a year ago? Do you see them coming out backing the government?The economists may agree that a surplus isnt necessary, but bet your bottom dollar if the government decided to stay in deficit, they wont hang around to back them. It will be known as another promise broken.
I think that if the coalition gets back in (in both houses) which will only take one election, I dont think that either my husband or I will be effected so much. Maybe my daughter, relatives and friends might cop an adverse effect. What upsets me is that its the people who I thought were intelligent, that would be voting for them. I cant help but despair of the future and reputation of this country.
Christopher Pyne is involved in the Slipper affair right up to his eye balls, but I'd be very surprised if anything happens.
