THE CONSERVATIVE LIE
Before the election, The Shepparton Adviser published my letter calling out the historic conservative lie that they are the better economic managers. Now, former Liberal Senator, Hollie Hughes, has given some explicit support to my analysis. “We have no economic policy to sell,” she told ABC radio.
But perhaps the best assessment of current economic management credentials was this statement, not from some radical left lunatic (to borrow a Trumpian), but from Anthony Miller, the CEO of Westpac.
“The certainty that the Labor party has provided over the last couple of years in government, and now re-elected, is an incredibly powerful outcome and a very positive one for the country…. It puts us in a very good position globally to attract capital and talent to this country. And so I think consistency and certainty and just getting things done methodically, as opposed to boldly going in different and new directions, is something to be thoughtful about.”
Hopefully, we might one day lay to rest the conservative lie forever.
