Note from the graph the terrible blowout in the current account deficit since 2010, to now when the latest yearly quarter has come in at a whopping $19billion.
The graph is interactive BTW. Note that much was made by Team Abbott about the BUDGET-EMERGENCY© leading up to the Sept 2013 election when Abbott became prime minister. The deficit was around $800billion in total, bringing on the infamous 2014 BUDGET-EMERGENCY© budget. About 20 bridges too far for the Australian public, wanting fairness without pensioners paying off the foreign debt whilst the big end of town paid nothing and avoided taxes. Which saw Abbott's polling dive to historical lows of which the gov has never recovered from.
Magically the BUDGET-EMERGENCY© disappeared over night as Team Abbott tried to come back from electoral Armageddon. In this year's budget Team Abbott suddenly told us the BUDGET-EMERGENCY© was all over as the adults were now in charge. Or something like that.
Well if there was a BUDGET-EMERGENCY© in 2013, there must be a hell of a problem now with it approaching $1trillion. Oh but we're all OK, Team Abbott is dealing with it, trust him, we're OK, no BUDGET-EMERGENCY© here.
