Also, are you suggesting the LNP wouldn’t have done any of the stimulus? Turnbull agreed with all of it, bar the last few billion. If the LNP had been in power in 2008, they’d have returned a deficit too.

It’s called good economic management. I know you’ve drunk the LNP deficits are bad cool aid, but… well you have so, I can’t change your mind.

If you don’t see any irony in the exchange where the government says opening Naru would cost X, the Liberals come back and say “We’ve got a quote a third of the price, this is just another example of bad finance from Labor” and the actual company say “Um, cough, our – err – quote is just for accommodation, not guards or processing or anything – just the buildings” you’ve got no sense of humour.

But I can point it out, even if it challenges your ideological bent.

Oh, and when was the last time a labor govmt returned a surplus. Oh, thats right, they dont have to, they just ring up massive debt via a myriad of hairbrained schemes, then wait to be booted out and a lnp govmt to find ways of balancing the books.

And before you point the finger back at me, I voted labor in the last vic state election and think the current libs in vic are clowns. Biased non swingers add little of true value to the political debate.

I guess then my issue is the fact that the journalist who wrote the original article in the Telegraph has NOT actually read or seen the play himself. He has merely taken the most sensational aspects of the piece and plonked them together, out of context, into an article.

Sloppy, ill informed journalism intended to make an impact. What he’s actually done is draw more attention to the play itself, increased ticket sales and therefore will
allow people to judge for themselves. Not rely on his one-sided opinion.

Well done! The theatre company in question must be grinning in their fishnets and jelly pools….
