Here's the real problem

Kevin, here is the real problem that you need to unpack and do something about.

The Howard "battler class" and their mates - you know the ones who left school at 15, drive 4wd's, pay too much for houses, call their kids Kyle and whose votes wander around based on who bribes them the most - don't believe that you have done anything for them and they are unhappy.

They aren't alert to the fact that they still have jobs because of what your government did to stave off the effects of the GFC. They don't even know what a GFC is (is it something to do with MasterChef?) and most didn't notice any change to their circumstances as the rest of the world went through a tumble dryer - and their jobs were shredded.

Your management of the crisis was so successful that these people didn't even notice that it happened - with not even a blip on their financial horizon. But they have noticed that there is now a government debt problem - as pointed out by the opposition - and they blame you for it.

Perhaps you shouldn't have given them all $900 to play with?

So they still have jobs because you threw billions at the construction industry and the motor vehicle industry and every other industry that employs bogans - and still they aren't smart enough to recognise that you saved their jobs and their mortgages ;-) It's hilarious.

The coalition would never have attempted something as courageous and ambitious as saving the nation from the effects of the GFC and apparently they will get the kudos for it at the next election - while you and your team will be blamed for excessive government debt. Figure that one out.

Julia's education revolution might have fixed this problem if it had started a generation ago - but there is no-way that it can save a one term government.
