It is unfortunately true. Between 1996 and 2016 who's a better PM? Rudd/Gillard is really the only other nominee and as hosed up as Howard is/was they really can't claim to have done much. Ten plus years in the job carries it's own gravitas. If anything it is a damning indictment on the poo poo nature of our politicians.

When they made the switch I expressed deep scepticism at Scott 'Baby Killer' Morrison being able to control the Treasury portfolio because, unlike his previous portfolio, he wasn't the faucet for all information. This weeks events have proven me spectacularly right. Who in their wildest dreams would have imagined anyone could make a worse treasurer than J Hockey? I know, it's breathtaking. I imaging in forty years a certain document, written in badly spelt crayon will be released under the Cabinet In Confidence rules:"An anonymous treasure" posted:Dear BIS Shrapnil, Well yes Baby Killer you do. Stupider in fact. I was trying to locate an instance of anyone in any of the broad finance portfolios of even this abysmal LNP government saying something stupider. It certainly rivals 'Poor people don't drive cars' and while 'Economic Girlyman' is in some ways worse that's because it is highly offensive misogyny not outright dumb economics. Looks like you can't just bully and torture the economy to get it to behave and trying to tow bad macroeconomic results back to sea just makes you look sillier. In case you missed it, KIller used a report (that is being used as evidence that we need an economic modelling regulator) to support a nonsense stance on a policy he either doesn't understand or didn't read. Is there any evidence available that KIller can, in fact, read? So Cartoon's clown shoes of the month goes to Scott "Babykiller" Morrison keep up the good work Scotty! You may be the straw that humps this camel off stage right.

Ah the deserving poor! How many more centuries before this tired moral position becomes history? Let's have a look at deserved. The highest hourly wage earned in Australia is $124.10 (Source - http://www.news.com.au/finance/money/the-20-jobs-that-are-highest-paid-per-hour/story-e6frfmd9-1226699999173). Now working 40 hours a week, eleven months a year for forty years means you can amass ~ 9.5 million dollars over your entire working life. Lets take away the 0.5 million that they would have gotten on centre link (They had to live on something) and that means anyone who has assets in excess of 9 million dollars is ripping us all off. There is no possible way, even at the highest wage available, for them to accumulate their wealth on the basis of their efforts alone. How is it possible for the people who have more than 9 million dollars in assets to get their loot? After taking vaginal discharge offsets (inheritance which is clearly not ever 'earned'), they lever it out of the economy at the expense of everyone else. Ladies and Gentlemen the true face of your overlords, the undeserving rich. Solemn Sloth I'm really sorry for your latest experience. You should be eligible for compensation. Hope things work out better for you soon.
