I'll just give you a few budget facts from this government. They doubled the debt prior to the pandemic. They racked up $1 trillion of debt without enough to show for it. They're the second-highest-taxing government in the last 30 years and are now collecting $4½ thousand more per person than Labor in 2013. They have no credibility on budget management.
