    Anyone else remember when the abc was left heavy?

    Anyway, this:

    “The fact that we’ve turned a $78 billion deficit that was forecast under the Liberal National Party government just over a year ago into a surplus that’s in excess of $4 billion is a positive thing.”

      Ugh I absolutely hate how media have swallowed the lie that budget surpluses are anything other than pure misapplication of public funds.

      Like… why brag that they’ve taken all this tax from us and they’re not spending it when us citizens are going through hard times?

        legit, a nation that boasts a surplus when any of its citizens live in penury is a failed fuckin’ state.
