Thank goodness Frydenberg and Cormann are not doctors because we would be getting second and third opinions.
Why? Because they have continually claimed that they have been reducing Labor's debt since 2013, but in fact they have they have increased it by $166.5 billion dollars to September 2018.
This is Sir Humphrey Appleby stuff - total incompetence and complete disregard for the truth - so why should anybody believe this mob on anything?
The Muppet Show would come to mind if this was not so serious.
Our 30 year boom has ended in a shattering collapse.
Pre-coronavirus we were heading down the tube with no plan, and we still do not have any idea what is ahead.
As citizens we can sit around scratching our heads, but surely with all of the information at hand they could at least have some idea of what to do.

I'm absolutely devastated by his current situation.
