I think he's an honest politican, which is a rare quality to have, but he's got about as much fiscal sense as a 5 year old with dime and a dollar. If he is treasurer, god help us. X_X I like that he speaks directly and doesn't 'politicize' his words, giving round-about answers, but yeah - he's got no sense.
@dashunderscoredash When people argue against what they believe in to gain office it's called having no personal integrity, or in this case at best, an ethic of obedience as common to authoritarians in which service to the party is a greater good then honesty and accountability to the public.
Joe Hockey is a pretty decent politician, and he is on the left of the Liberal Party. But god damn, he had to attack a government which he knows were doing the right thing, and it showed, it really did. This interview was cringe-worthy, but that's all that could really be expected from someone who is forced to argue against something they actually believe in.

Great to see the opposition being taken to task on their inconsistencies.

I love it. 'The Reserve Bank would always take the current Govs policy into account'. She sounds so condescending but it needed to be said. Go Leigh!
