I find it comical that many firearm owners consistently bag the ALP. And are obviously strong supporters of the LNP.[b]Yet,[b] it appears it was good old little johnny who oversaw the Mulwex plant leased out to Thales in 2006 (now ADI) as well as the "96 steal back".

Personally I haven't voted for any of the majors for many years. But the above facts speak for themselves.
So, who's side are these LNP supporters on?
And as for the ALP running up debts. I just wonder what it is now after Scotty has had a turn? LMHO.
And you can argue all you like, now, and when the GFC hit the treasury said spend up big to support the economy. It worked back then and is this time.
Give ya a hint bud, internal revenue is just that, a house full of people passing a $100 note back n forth isn't actually helping that homes economy... It sure gives the impression to those inside, but it really does nothing, just as is evident by the GST stats, the states of QLD, VIC, SA, TAS and the two Territories NT and ACT all showing a large deficit of tax revenue and essentially all backed by NSW and WA (WA by a factor of like 5 over NSW), this is called insolvency in business, the government sells out the future to save its skin now. The stimulus spending in both GFC and now in Covid measures is not helping the future of anyone's kids, its doing the opposite.
see the only thing that actually helps the economy is raw income, this doesn't come from recycling the same $10 bucks between joe blo and joe bloggs this comes from bringing wealth in from outside the system within. Victorians often believe they have a big economy because of their retails sector and so on, but consumerism rarely brings in anything in regards to the GDP.
So whilst many short sightedly champion the spending by government (very socialist of them) those looking ahead lament the endless debt they have plunged us into without so much as a referendum. Now you might argue they're elected to make that decision, but in essence they leave politics at the end of their little stay and receive CEO level pensions whilst the rest of us continue to fund them and all their mistakes, lies and corruption. They feel no effect of their recklessness at all, meanwhile my great grandchildren will be paying for their choices long after the very short period in time where they made people feel warm and fuzzy about it.
