Oz's idol in the last Aussie Fed election

What idol would that be?

Thought I'd get a bite :-)

Where's your new boat now in its progress across the Pacific? Been
snowing here, I'm thinking of visiting Sydney (or Qld) for a bit....

The one who was accused of not having being capable of controlling the
economy, or the accuser who is supposedly the best treasurer we've
ever had..he can balance a budget to within about 15billion, and claim
to pay off the national debt..unfortunately the current account
deficit is now getting close to 450 billion!.

WGAF, it's private money, not Govt debt. I don't have much regard for
the current clowns in power so don't expect me to defend them. They're
benefiting from circumstances largely not of their making so deserve no
credit. Just as I told the other mob before the last loss, you can get
into power if your policies are crap but your sales team is good, you
might get into power with good policies and poor sales, but you'll
*never* get into power if you have no talent and no policies. And I was
right. I'd love to see the current mob booted out. Come the day the ALP
has sensible policies....
