...long-term vision. Australians, spoiled by boom times that fiscal discipline and staunch leadership had delivered over the course of the previous decade, treated themselves to a new pair of shoes when electing Rudd back in late 2007. Great marketing in the purest sense. As a result of flash-in-the-pan stimulus packages, we are saddled now with terrifying, record debt.

Some of it is 50, 60 years old. The tattoo artists of his era - and this is not a very popular opinion - they couldn't draw very well. The lettering is very crude, the designs are flat, one-dimensional, not very original, very cartoony and extremely primitive. Then you move up to the tattoo artists that began...
