Of course the Libs hate unions because they can't, and never could, organise themselves into a cohesive solidarity, preferring to be peacocks rather than noisy minors.
the only way the Consevertives can campaign against a Labor party affluently funded by the unions.

Growth wins every time, and these numbers support it
Looks like we never needed corporate tax cuts after all ?
Amazing how a government with stuff all enacted economic policy can achieve good results. It makes one wonder whether it was actually due to them or other factors.
And if it can be sustained.
Wayne Swan?
What about Swanny ?
Other factor?
Easy. The punters around the water cooler learned very quickly that once Abbott was gone so too was the desire to disembowel their wallets with a serrated bread knife and so they started spending their money again. You can achieve good economic results from doing nothing for as long as you don't bite the hand that feeds you. It's a perfect argument for smaller Govt and less interference which is what the Coalition was supposed to be about.Well yes, there was a thing called the GFC which was handled by a stimulus package at the time, but the current government has no economic policy excerpt for corporate tax cuts which never got through so how can we say that the supposedly good economic figures are the result of government policy ?

It is when you say things like that, where our relationship, falls apart again.
That stimulus package was the biggest waste of money in Australian fiscal history, China was ramping up buying our resources from 2006-2013, but I guess if you keep saying something over and over some will believe it.
Swan was a goose.
Yes it does but that isn't what transpired. Abbott destroyed confidence and disrupted the economy with his centre-right slash and burn agenda and I reckon if he had stayed as PM for much longer we would've copped a self induced recession. He knows that, that's why he went aye-over-tee and back flipped on virtually everything. Turnbull, as you quite rightly pointed out, did very little and IMO it was a clear case of not fixing something that wasn't broken. Australia is a smart enough country where people just want to get on with their lives, go to work, pay their taxes, buy their goods and services and veg out on farcebook and the like...Wasn't Abbott supposed to be for smaller government ? Sack public servants, shove the health care burden back to the consumers, remove subsidies to the car industry etc ?
If you move to the Left, that means more government doesn't it ?
Give us infrastructure, health care, education and security and we'll do the rest.
What we don't need is the Govt to either hold our hand or to spank it.
