Like how Rudd purchased the F35 and announced the replacement of the submarines with a (never going to happen) local project? Oh wait, that is the ALP. Fixed it for you ^^
Are you forgetting that childishly stupid scheme initiated by Gillard: "cash for clunkers" that cost us tax payers $394million dollars? Politicians just don't give a crap anymore how much money they squander on nonsense schemes and projects, because at the end of the day, its NOT their money they are squandering, its ours, the Australian tax payers. In reality, "why" would politicians really care about how much money they are spending and squandering, when they can walk away from the debt without ever being held legally financially responsible or accountable for the debt? We are stupid, we have given politicians access to our money, and given them a fee pass to squander our money without us ever knowing how or what the money was spent on, or without them ever being responsible or accountable for their actions. Do you really think a few harsh comments is punishment enough for a politician who squanders and mismanages100's of $millions of dollars of other peoples money? Politicians have the general public so docile and survile that they could come and root the majority up the bum, and al the public would do is say: bar, bar, bar If we don't pull the rug out from under these incompetent politicians very soon, then Australia is looking more & more like Cuba with every passing day. We all need to agree to disagree on politics, but need to agree on one thing - that "all" politicians are sending this resource and asset wealthy country bankrupt through their incompetent stupidity.
