The Pub Test: The real state of the Australian economy

Research output: Contribution to Newspaper/Magazine/BulletinFeatured article

Abstract

Labor’s machine is out in force this Christmas in a vain attempt to recover the electoral ground that is collapsing under its feet. My feed on X is replete with comments telling me how John Howard and Peter Costello taxed us more than Jimbo and then mostly squandered it. Peter Garrett is tweeting anti-nuclear sentiment, leftist think tanks are spruiking how good the economy is, and other lefties are blaming everything else on the RBA. It’s a complete rot-fest of lies. Nobody has been this broke in generations. Just ask anyone at the pub.
