Reality is Keating was a good treasurer, Howard a good PM who should have quit when he was ahead.

Howard was an abject disgrace as a Treasurer.

And he was an even worse PM.

Agree with shocker as a Treasurer.

Howards battlers are increasing again as a new generation of voters understand interest rates & mortgage payments, the cost of living pressures when you do the household shopping, open the power bills ....
The problem for his critics is that he won too often, bit like Dans critics - NO opposition helped.

I voted KRudd 1 - we all make mistakes.

That only serves to prove that voters don't understand these things from a macroeconomic or political perspective at all.

John Howard these days is a scary thought. Having already drained our gold reserves and getting rock bottom prices for it, having already sold everything we had left to sell, not to mention him pissing away the mining boom, a return to Howard/Costello style economic policy is the very last thing we need.

We really must talk about the Howard and Costello economic disaster

According to the LNP and their old media campaign team, Howard and Costello were brilliant economic managers; Alan Austin debunks this obvious furphy decisively.

The issues repeat themselves.
Dr Jim Mk2 faces much the same hopes as Mk1 did in the Whitlam era.

What version of 'the mining boom' are you really referring to ? Boom equals high prices, over which our Government has no no control - see the use of the Ukraine war as an excuse for everything.
Pissing away the benefits is oft said as a cover for poor economic management. Mk2 Dr Jim appears to have learned from the hubris of the Swan era & that gives me hope.

Remember Howard/Costello delivered the GST, whilst Albo chooses to remain committed to Stage 3 tax cuts - real tax reform isnt coming any time soon. The only real attempt at tax reform was Hewson losing the unloseable election & that was every bit as expensive for the country as Morrison winning the unwinnable election 2019 contest.

I'm specifically talking about Howard's unwillingness to tax big miners appropriately for digging up the ground that we all own. We should have a massive future fund off the back of that. We don't.

Howard and Costello...and every other backward thinking Tory seems wedded to trickle down economic theory which has been proven time and time again to be a fallacy.

Why Howard & Costello ? Mining was an issue at Federation, why not every Government since then ?

That's a nonsense argument and you know it.

It was important then because of the China boom and the amount of mining volume generated from that. Howard, for all of his bully and bluster about tax reform never moved away from screwing over the working class.

No - I'm old enough to remember when the Feds lifted the embargo on iron ore:

How Australia’s iron ore export ban was beaten

We have three visionaries to thank for mineral resources riches that are pouring into the federal budget coffers.

The boom in WA under the Brand/Court Governments with foreign capital.

Wanting to blame Howard ducks an honest discussion on how you rewrite history & that you do know.

Norway acted in 1967 & there have been plenty of Governments of both colours since then, yet its down to Howard /Costello. Pull the other leg.
Your Johnny come lately approach does you no favours.

Bullshit.

The only interest John Howard had in tax reform was to ensure the rich got their share of the breaks.

If you don’t believe Howard, a failed Treasurer who learned nothing, was a trickle-down economist then you weren’t watching.

Theyre probs statute books, so mere props.

Howard was not a good PM.

He was a good politician.

Two different things.
