Getting the nation moronically into debt to placate Covid panic merchants may be the best thing the Liberals have done in decades…

They have left behind such a flat purse that, for the first time in almost thirty years, the federal government has piddling discretionary funding with which to buy support (or silence) from interest groups.

Labor will have to stand or fall on how its policies affect the majority of Australians’ day-to-day lives. 

It is no wonder that parliamentarians are spending their waking hours trying to cover up what a vulnerable position the sparse kitty puts them in.
