So....what of Hockey? He is the current Shadow Treasurer. Surely he was the author of, and thoroughly understood, all the comments he has been making inside and out of Parliament on matters financial etc. Or was he just mouthing the words written for him by someone else?

Has Hockey actually got any credentials in this area?

Please explain.

Huh

I wish I could if only I had worked in treasury..

Joe is fine I like him and I think most do..

but there is a mountain there to be climbed..and it wont be pretty and it will be tough going....

so far Joe hasnt had to balance any books... I think the job could be way out of his league... but what do I know you guys tell me that over and over I am surprised you are interested in what I think.

We can take this a step further. If Abbott wins:

1. It is a given that he is known, and openly described thus, as a numbnuts on anything to do with the economy.

2. Hockey also has no economic credentials that I have am aware of.

So, who will the LNP throw up to run the National Family Budget, matters of international financial significance, matters of corporate and personal taxation, matters of Federal/State financial relations etc etc?

Gina does not need to be elected. She has the LNP is her back pocket.

Come on cods, you know as well as I do that the LNP know Abbott is an economic innumerate. Both Hewson and Costello have actually said so.

In fact, when you look around the LNP mob, they have got bugger all on matters generally, but on economics, all they seem to have are Turnbull and Barnaby....and yet it is Hockey who has been Shadow Treasurer!

As I said ^^^^ Gina does not need to be elected. She owns Abbott.
