What specific actions, ralph, are you claiming Costello took
to cause 12 interest rate rises in a row and an explosion
of national debt, just before the Subprime crisis he had so
woefully left us exposed to.. When a global recession hits
you do NOT want to be saddled with RECORD DEBT, a FLEET
OF ****ING DEBT SUPERTANKERS, and TWELVE INTEREST RATE RISES
IN A ROW To MAKE IT HARDER TO PAY OFF!!!!

We were headed OVER THE CLIFF:

But then, unlike me, you and Costello never saw it coming,
I called your Bubble economy built on property SPECULATION,
debt and foreign borrowings.. you liars pretended it
was sustainable 'growth' which you couldn't even maintain
from the 4% Keating left you, without inflating
the economy and leaving it with crippling debt! B^p

Rudd has turned the corner on interest rates, judged the budget
perfectly, and it looks like he will achieve a soft landing and
not the train wreck Costello could see coming, ONLY WHEN IT'S
HEADLIGHT WAS SHINING in his little piggy eyes; B^D

Australia not immune from US recession

- Peter Costello 20/11/2007

"Mr Costello said a report by global investment
bank Goldman Sachs, which found the impact of
the US mortgage crisis could be far greater
than thought, posed risks to Australia."

Can't be Rudd's fault then, they knew the
meltdown was coming back in '07, and they
knew it would be a TSUNAMI:

"The report suggests investors may need to cut
back lending by $US2 trillion."

Costello hadn't seen it coming, or had been lying;

"Mr Costello, who just months ago claimed
Australia's economy was strong enough to
withstand the impact of a US recession,
has now changed his tune. He said if US
banks start withdrawing "huge sums of money",
we could see further pressure on interest
rates as people compete for funds. "They
are saying that this could lead to a downturn
in the world's largest economy," he told radio 3AW.

Mr Costello said if this happened, domestic
lenders would lose money, Australian
institutions would charge higher lending
rates to recoup higher borrowing costs,
and exchange-rate sensitivity would affect
Australia's competitiveness.

"This is a very, very big risk out in
the international economy at the moment,"
he said.

"And believe me, Australia will not be
immune. It will take a lot of management
to get us through this."

Mr Costello said periods of strong growth
in Australia had always ended in inflation
and high interest rates"

Why not? Anything fasgnadh posts surely qualifies as a joke ;-)

I do note however that his 1998 prediction (as "Che Guava") of a
recession might finally come true ... only ten years late and brought
on in part by inflationary Labor policies ...

Poor old Fasy. Do you like the idea that unemployment dropped to
record lows under the liberals and now that Labor is back in power it
is starting to rise again?

Don't you know when Australia is well off?

Not to mention the recession he predicted way back in 1998 might
finally happen now ... again thanks to Labor making inflation worse
than ever and forcing RBA to hike interest rates even higher than
under Libs.

>Don't you know when Australia is well off?

The problem is whackjobs like fasgnadh don't care about living
standards.

Voters elected Labor because they foolishly believed they would be
better off - and just the opposite happened with inflation and
interest rates.

It's still early to say, but the economy is clearly risking recession
because the RBA had to keep applying the brakes harder and harder
after Rudd came to power and his government did nothing about
inflation except make it worse yet still try to blame Libs for it!

"Financial tsunami" I believe was the expression - either Costello knew
they would lose or he knew the country couldn't live on bullshit
forever. Since he still can't believe they lost the only question is how
bad he thought it would be now with the silver spoon set at the tiller.
I don't believe voters want him back any time soon, but if anyone thinks
he might have collected more votes than JH then bring him on.

Bzzt!!!
Wrong again Ralph.
They elected Labor because that meant no Workchoices.
You still haven't got the meassage apparently, and
neither has the Liberal Party because they're
seriously contemplating installing the architect of
Workchoices as leader.
Some fools never learn.

Yes the unions didn't want to lose their stranglehold on the
Australian worker and thus played the insecurity card instead of
telling the worker that they had the right to refuse to sign a
workplace agreement and, with full employment, that they would be
better off. It was rather telling that all the examples they used to
try to subvert workchoices proved to be lies with, I seem to remember,
one exception where the employer was already under investigation
before the claim was made. A brilliant campaign made up entirely of
lies.

# Costello is a numbers man, right? He was Treasurer, after all. And if
you never had the numbers why bother to challenge for the top job? But that
was when in govt.
Now he may have the numbers, but what is so glorious about being Leader
of the Opposition - even if possibly PM, down the track. But that's not a
certainty, by any means, and could take years and years.
No, I guess Peter C will bide his time, then fade out of politics, having
had quite a bit of fun along the way.

Bullshit.
If the whole Rights at Work campaign was lies why
didn't anyone call them on it?
But keep defending Workchoices by all means, and by
all means run Costello as the leader.
That will ensure at least a decade of Labor
governments.
