They're just too focused on getting a balanced budgets because they don't want a bad headline in the Australian (which they'll get anyway regardless).

Yeah, they shouldn't worry. It'd be interesting in future to get Chalmers to speak candidly about this time period. I find it hard to believe he fully accepts the Classical economics view on balanced budgets.

Also, see my reply to Ikt, i was also replying to your first point. Got a bit carried away, but hey, this ain't a microblogging platform for a reason. :)
