The Leader of the Opposition chooses to take words out of context and to twist the meaning of what the Treasurer said. I refer the Leader of the Opposition to the Treasurer's full answers in this parliament.

I would also say to the Leader of the Opposition: if he wants to be taken seriously on questions of budget accounting, if he wants to be taken seriously on his often-stated desire to return to surplus, then he cannot at the same time come into this parliament and oppose savings measures. We have been treated to the farce over the last few days—

....the real farce is that Australia has fallen for the Debt Trap.....

.....Like so many other "third world"..countries....
...Debt creates a false economy...which rely's on consumption (of Debt)...together with its problems as interest payments further drive down local capacity as foreign dependence grows

Sales of commodities are market driven (unreliable)
...and taxation (austerity) is unsustainable without comparative growth...

Debt either gets paid back....or you Default.......

Remember....It is not the seeing the problem that defines you....it is seeing the solution....

A "Great Work" is required...Which can absorb local potential (vertical)....
...while addressing global goals..(horizontal)...

...and...to redefine Australia"s National/World Identity in the 21st. Century....
