No, but the Liberals had $600b of deficits when in government. That is why inflation happened.
If you print money - you get inflation. Morrison in particular printed shit tons and I have no idea where most of it went.
What would a Dutton Liberal leadership mean for the Liberals and the country?

Conservatives - State Victoria budget crisis ….
- Federal Government surplus irrelevant
Do you want the government to regulate private businesses and set prices???
Dutton has the election in the bag. Even if Albo gave every Australian $10,000 for COL relief, he'd still get voted out. He's going to cost Labor the election.

Dutton has a lot of work to do to actually win. They need to pick up tons of seats including teal seats without losing any. It isn't going to be easy by any stretch.

Hell get labor into minority and then continue to the gaslighting.
All the while convincing his party they are ‘the party behaving like government’
He'll win as he does handstands while blindfolded!

Dutton will be lucky if he holds his seat.
Massive ground level movement happening to dislodge the corrupt cop.

I admit I’m not a psephologist, but I can’t help suspecting this narrative that Dutton has put himself in a winning position is a bit of a media confection.
People are forgetting the comprehensive shellacking the electorate handed out to the Coalition in 2022.
The usual electoral calculus was completely shattered when seats were lost which had never been anything except Liberal since the creation of those seats many decades ago.
These were the seats that previously had automatically been counted in the Coalition’s result. All of a sudden, this would no longer be the case.
Many of them went to Teals and I see little evidence of any sort of backlash against particular sitting Teals. I think most of them are safe for all least one more electoral term. And there’s a strong case at least a couple more previously safe Lib seats like Bradfield will follow suit this time around and do the unthinkable.
I know the current narrative is that Dutton has turned his sights on Labor-held seats on the urban fringes, but gee, he’ll have to be picking up a helluva lot of them, as you say, specially if he’s losing further seats elsewhere to Teal candidates.
Happy to have the calculus explained to me, but right now a part of me is very suspicious there’s a fair element of media beat-up in all of this talk of Dutton winning.
It almost sounds like leaving an abusive partner, having financial struggles associated with leaving, and returming to the abuser due to the struggles. Except kicking out the LNP hasn't caused any issues - it's just that you can't fix a broken country in three years.
In an alternate universe where the LNP remained in power at the 2022 election, unemployment would be higher, with inflation and interest rates perhaps a bee's dick lower. I'm sure that extra 100 bucks a fortnight in your pocket would be very enjoyable until you lose your job.

Sure
The reality is like ever a change of government will barely impact the average person
