UPDATE

We are in the middle of a boom, but the Rudd debt just keeps on growing:

Reserve Bank of Australia deputy governor Ric Battellino said the nation was better placed to deal with the economic challenges than in previous resources booms, when a fixed exchange rate hampered trade flows and threatened inflation.

In a speech to the Sydney Institute on Tuesday, Mr Battellino said the current boom began in 2005 and was interrupted somewhat by the global financial crisis before resuming its course and was now attracting strong investment.

So prior to 2005 the Howard government had no trouble balancing the budget. It goes to show that the GFC has been used as a scapegoat to push through Rudd’s socialist agenda.
