Ain't that the truth, the cartoonists rarely get it wrong.
I was having a good day until I saw you brought up that supercilious campaigner comrade Keating.

I still get shivers when I see that Kent or his likeness.I was having a good day until I saw you brought up that supercilious campaigner comrade Keating.

I don't recall any of us saying that.But Kirky, Kano, Vader and their lefty mates think Keating was the el supremo of treasurers. Keating the Great in fact.
I will say one thing a genius compared to Wayne Swam still out there floundering around in the wilderness looking for that elusive surplus of his.
There's pork barrelling and then there's Each Way Albo and Grim Jim Chalmers magnitude of pork barrelling, it's pork barrelling on steroids....and no doubt at all it's feeding into inflation.Part of my point was that I don't understand why people are saying chalmers is wrong to say hiking rates damages the economy. Everyone knows that's exactly what they're supposed to do.
Regarding spending, I agree governments are spending too much. It's called pork barrelling to win elections and is a big problem and a trap for political parties. You can't win an election unless you promise 'jobs and growth' and back it up with large $$ regardless if that spending is prudent.
Labor is trapped with high inflation but also wanting to spend (adding to inflation) so it can win another election. LNP will be no different and you'll find that the situation was the same before albo came in. Pork barrelling and lobbying ****s over everyone. This is our system.
Whatchoo takin' about Willis? I don't see Keating's name mentioned anywhere in that post.
Shoulda gone to specsavers...Whatchoo takin' about Willis? I don't see Keating's name mentioned anywhere in that post.
If anything, I was being complimentary about your icon - John Howard.
I'm sorry... there's one fly-by name drop. Jeezus. You need to get a life.Shoulda gone to specsavers...
You mentioned him in the same bracket as Hawke, he's not fit to shine Bob Hawke or John Howard's boots it's you that's lost the argument you're just not man enough to accept it.I'm sorry... there's one fly-by name drop. Jeezus. You need to get a life.
If that's the best you can do, then you've lost the argument.
You're still on a hiding to nothing anyway, given that the post was discussing Keating as PM, not Keating as Treasurer - which is where you started putting words in my mouth anyway.You mentioned him in the same bracket as Hawke, he's not fit to shine Bob Hawke or John Howard's boots it's you that's lost the argument you're just not man enough to accept it.
LOLYou're still on a hiding to nothing anyway, given that the post was discussing Keating as PM, not Keating as Treasurer - which is where you started putting words in my mouth anyway.
Even as PM, I'd take Keating over the conga line we had from 2007-2022 every day of the week. Scomo remains one of the 3 worst PMs in Australian history, vying with Abbott & McMahon for the title of outright worst.
Whitlam/Cairns/Morosi not in the last 40 years, as per the previous post you quoted.LOL
Gough Whitlam, Dr Cairns and Junie Morosi say hi
Old Mal and Kevvy say hi too
LOL you have the same biases I do, just different sides, you're no more credible than I am so you are hardly holding the high ground, you're down the same hole merrily digging away too.Whitlam/Cairns/Morosi not in the last 40 years, as per the previous post you quoted.
Keating >>>>>>>>>>>>> Mal >>>> Rudd
Keep digging downward. You might come out in China.
I'm not digging. You're the one who accused me of having made positive comments about Keating, then you went back through my posting history and found one drive-by comment from 2 years ago.LOL you have the same biases I do, just different sides, you're no more credible than I am so you are hardly holding the high ground, you're down the same hole merrily digging away too.
Brackets ( Hawke - Keating ) says it all, pays to have a good memory while the search application is there...don't feel bad everyone makes a call they got wrong..I'm not digging.

... and you're still doubling down with your bullshit.
Keating was a great Treasurer.But Kirky, Kano, Vader and their lefty mates think Keating was the el supremo of treasurers. Keating the Great in fact.
I will say one thing a genius compared to Wayne Swan still out there floundering around in the wilderness looking for that elusive surplus of his.
It's a single drive-by comment, from 2 years ago.Brackets ( Hawke - Keating ) says it all, pays to have a good memory while the search application is there...don't feel bad everyone makes a call they got wrong..
Posted by your hands ( ) Hawke and Keating the best PM's in that time period...that says different.It's a single drive-by comment, from 2 years ago.
You're carrying on as if I had repeatedly posted about how good he was as treasurer. In fact, you found a grand total of 1 post mentioning him, from 2 years ago, when I was discussing his record as PM.
You're embarrassing yourself - and that takes some doing, for a poster with a history as bad as yours.
Plenty would disagree with you re Keating especially people and businesses he sent to the wall....Keating was a great Treasurer.
Along with Costello, the only 2 quality Treasurers in my time..
Both had long-term vision.
Surely you are not suggesting otherwise?
No, I studied much of what he did as was doing my degree at the time.Plenty would disagree with you esopecially people and businesses he sent to the wall....
Maybe take it up with Floating Doughnut for a reference.
Chalmers is a dud, hopelessly out of his depth trying to put down an RBA Head Michele Bullock a Bachelor of Economics (Honours) and a career economist in different roles at the RBA, compare her experience and CV with that of Grim Jim....and how do you think Grim Jim Chalmers obtained his Doctorate in Political Science...No, I studied much of what he did as was doing my degree at the time.
Would you prefer we still be on fixed currencies living in a banana Republic...
No Treasurer has been perfect, but these 2 are streets ahead of the others.
I know you hate Chalmers but the opposition have the sheep & wolves clothing.
