If you ran a company, and said "we're going to spend $158 billion to boost business over the next 3 years", do you think at the end of those 3 years you'd be sacked if the new business didn't happen? (I'd say you'd probably go to jail.) So...if at the next election the $158 billion in public money given away in tax cuts hasn't supercharged the economy, shouldn't that be seen almost as criminal, given the demands on the public purse with an ageing population? ScoMo always tells us it's our money, if you're a shareholder in a company and somebody loses your money, there are serious legal consequences.
