You must have skipped the second paragraph, but don't let the facts get in the way of your opinion.

Some economists have slammed the Abbott government's response to the situation, saying Australians are being encouraged to rely on private debt to fund more of their consumption – the same destructive dynamic that played a role in the global financial crisis.

the same ones who DIDNT forecast the IFC...

I am not a believer in fortunetellers.....I am afraid.

... and yet ToJo's prognostications and Bairdie's prognostication, other wise known as a ... budget ..... is based on economists and their theories...

All political mouthpieces for the economy are the same, cods... they have about as much relevant knowledge as a salamander

Unemployment increasing by only 2 percentage points during the height of GFC and was an amazingly good result.

The Liberals seeing it increase by 1 percentage point for no reason wasn't so good.

Basically said it was inadequate and pathetic with the then Labor governnment. So unless this growth is above "trend growth" I guess by his standards just not good enough.

So the FACT that mining is in decline due to falling prices isn't a good reason?

yes unemployment increased despite record high terms of trade and iron ore & other commodity prices on Labor's watch?

Rolling back workchoices, taxing carbon dioxide & kicking the mining industry in the balls turned out to be pretty dopey policies...
