Noco, the $18 billion figure actually comes from the secretary of the Treasury and the secretary of the finance department.
Labor lied about the deficit....the week before the 2013 election they stated $18 billion when in actual gact it was $48 billion.

I'm pretty sure treasury puts out a few sets of numbers and labor quoted the lowest.
From the US; a mob a tad more credible than the IPA. It's only with distance that you are able to perceive the true horror;
'A prominent US think tank has published a piece arguing that Tony Abbott is the most incompetent leader of an industrialised democracy and has 'proven so incapable' that he has to go.

I'm pretty sure you have zero idea what you're talking about. The 18 billion figure is from pre-election economic and fiscal outlook which the Secretaries of Treasury and Finance are obliged to put shortly after an election is called. They only provide one relevant figure.
Tony Abbott decision to dump Philip Ruddock after spill motion angers backbench

Philip Ruddock axed as Chief Whip
Tony Abbott's near-death experience in spill attempt
Tony Abbott has again fanned the flames of insurrection in his ranks by gratuitously dumping veteran party Whip Philip Ruddock in the wake of this week's attempted spill motion.
The move has angered many on his backbench and threatens to reopen the leadership question after some who stuck with him revealed they were appalled at the vindictiveness and sheer brutality of the move on Mr Ruddock.
In better times: Philip Ruddock helps then Opposition Leader Tony Abbott with his high vis vest in West Melbourne in 2013.
Are you sure? Because being "pretty" sure sounds like hedging your bets.
I remember treasury saying something about releasing different sets of figures-worst case , middle of the road and best outlook. It is entirely possible it was not for these figures
I have a similar recollection, going back probably a year or more.Are you sure? Because being "pretty" sure sounds like hedging your bets.

This is just one more example of how Mr Abbott has lost the plot completely. That he could behave in such a blatantly childishly spiteful way toward a highly respected Liberal figure must be alienating what supporters he had left.I have listened and good government starts now.
By scapegoating Phillip Ruddock. Sacking a respected 41 year veteran, and replacing him with loyalist cronies.
Did Dame Credlin authorize this.
I think 61-39 just narrowed.
That is because they are unbiased and had good reason to be critical
.
Do you ever hear the ABC and their associate programs rubbish.
I appreciate your point, Knobby, but there are hundreds of thousands out there in voter land with whom "bad people" would resonate strongly.
Is it worth it, though, to further alienate the more discerning? I doubt that it matters much what he says at this stage. The discussion seems to have moved on to who will be the better replacement - Mr Turnbull or Ms Bishop.
Mr Turnbull has noticeably shifted his commentary from 'loyal support' to decidedly critical, at least over the sacking of Philip Ruddock. Presumably he's feeling his way upwards.
It's just yet another demonstration of Abbott's lack of judgement. Considering the slap down he gave a back bencher after the budget, it's a bit rich for Abbott to complain Ruddock wasn't getting the feedback required for Abbott to truly understand how alienated the back bench was.

Scott Morrison said tackling rules that deter people from selling the family home and buying a smaller, cheaper properties “needs further consideration”.
Many age pensioners are reluctant to sell their home because the cash affects their eligibility for the pension under the income test…
Although enabling pensioners to downsize, yet keep the pension would most likely cost the budget money, Mr Morrison argued that enabling retirees to cash in the equity in their homes would be good for the economy because of the extra disposable income it would create.
