That's funny. The below chart seems to prove you WRONG! If you do the same research for state governments you will also see similar results. The left have no idea about responsible government, probably because many of them come from the unions where corruption, intimidation and rorting is rife. That's why they are always the ones growing the debt, rorting the funding for their elections, wasting money on cancelling projects in order to stay in power, running projects where the costs always blow out, etc, etc.
Trying to claim that the current Liberal government is responsible for the debt growing is childish. The only reason it's still growing is because Labor and The Greens won't pass any of their policies through the senate. Had Joe Hockey's budget been allowed five years ago the debt would have been reduced. Maybe you can give me an example of where a right wing government has been fiscally irresponsible?

Convenient time period to cut the graph off
Costello couldn't run a balanced budget over the cycle in the the middle of the largest resources boom in history but you want us to be amazed at their economic proficiency that essentially boils down to: they were in government as the Chinese were urbanising.
