2. Owing to our current economic issues (both prior to COVID-19 and now) I have seen people posting uninformed words like & #39;Howard & Costello were great economic managers& #39; OR our problems are because Rudd wasted money.
3. This thread details why I don& #39;t share the belief that Howard & Costello were great economic managers. From the initial debt through 2 selling Gold below markets price & finally squandering the & #39;additional the Billions from the mining boom. We could be in a much better place.

5. As mentioned above 1/2 of our debt was removed by selling Telstra, there was no need to have a fire sale on all Assets. But we did & it meant we sold some for cheap. We sold 167 Tonnes of gold for $2.4B that gold would be worth $13.5B 2day

This is like the current SportRorts, where the LNP have exploited several loopholes that allow them to only represent those Australians in Marginal Electorates. The LNP acts in an immoral and unethical manner and they can do this without explanation.
