Mr. Swan was asked about Labor’s dismal position in the polls on ABC radio this morning …
“I don’t get concerned about opinion polls on a daily, weekly or monthly basis,” he said,
following up with …
“My concern is to make sure we get the economic fundamentals of this country right, particularly given the challenges we face in the global economy and I believe that political support follows that,”
This morning my superannuation went backwards at a great rate of knots on the US employment figures and fear of a looming crisis in Europe. The next GFC is just over the horizon, Labor has fired off the stockpile of ammunition left by the previous government. What chance Mr. Swan will get the fundamentals right? What chance that Labor will deliver a surplus?
The reality is that Mr. Swan and I are both hoping for a soft landing … perhaps some strategically placed pink batts will come in handy.
