I reckon this is a political move. It is quite likely Rudd will need to go into deficit shortly. Whatever he does Turnball is there to say, "you shouldn't have done it that way!". Such as the Commercial real estate funding proposal and tax cuts or stimuli.


He knows as Australia crumbles it will be him that ultimately has to cop the flack, regardless of what he does, and in many ways, there isn't much he can do.


So what do you do? You start an ideological war. Turnball has no option but to defend the "free market" and Rudd is trying to look more pure than the merchant banker whose friends all caused this mess (or so the spin will go).
