They sure do.
You seem to have forgotten howard set up the growth economy, the precursor needed for the gfc.
Then howard gets out just in time for labor to come in and clean up the mess.
And then abbott gets in because of labors budget emergency.
Labor passed loads of legislation and did some huge reforms.
But now abbott is in for one term just in time to get out before the next gfc.
Lol. Labor clean up the mess? Apart from an actual labor politician that's the first time I have ever heard of that.
We were lucky for the mining boom keeping this country running through the labor time in power.
