Most significant Economic reform of the Australian financial system in
the post-war era!
APEC, the regional economic foundation of our resource wealth
4% growth bequeathed to HighRate Howard and Comatose Costello's
do-nothing-for-a-decade government!

You are so right, he is a ****ing NONG!

Nah, he's too gutless!
Even His mates say so - 'No Balls!" B^D

Too bad you can't find a single structural change Costello can brag about!
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAAHAH AHAAHAHAHAAA
In ten years he achieved nothing of significance but just
sat on his arse, doing what Howard, a COMPLETE NONENTITY, told him!
> Has he forgotten that he was dumped from office
Howard will never forget not only being unceremoniously
dumped from office but TIPPED OUT OF HIS OWN ****ING SEAT!!! B^D
By an ex-ABC reporter!!! A GIRL! B^D
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAH AAHAHAHAA!
Keating is already remembered for his economic reforms,
Costello is just know as a SOOK!
Of course the ALP wants him to lead the Lieberals, because EVEN
HIS LIEBERAL MATES ADMIT HE HAS NO BALLS!!!!!
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AHAHAHAAHAHAHAA!
"'No balls' Costello can't lead: Hewson"
- Streem 1/8/2008
"Peter Costello lacks the courage to challenge
Brendan Nelson for the Liberal Leadership, a
former Liberal leader says.
John Hewson says recent media coverage over
Mr Costello's possible tilt at the leadership
is pointless, because he lacks "the balls"
to challenge.
Dr Hewson told Sky News it was a pointless argument.
"When I look back at Peter's career he's never had the balls to
challenge,
or make a move, or actually move to get the job, in circumstances
where he could have got it," he said.

This will play long after he loses the next election! ;-)

Australia not immune from US recession
- Peter Costello 20/11/2007
"Mr Costello said a report by global investment
bank Goldman Sachs, which found the impact of
the US mortgage crisis could be far greater
than thought, posed risks to Australia."
Can't be Rudd's fault then, they knew the
meltdown was coming back in '07, and they
knew it would be a TSUNAMI:
"The report suggests investors may need to cut
back lending by $US2 trillion."
Costello hadn't seen it coming, or had been lying;
"Mr Costello, who just months ago claimed
Australia's economy was strong enough to
withstand the impact of a US recession,
has now changed his tune. He said if US
banks start withdrawing "huge sums of money",
we could see further pressure on interest
rates as people compete for funds. "They
are saying that this could lead to a downturn
in the world's largest economy," he told radio 3AW.
Mr Costello said if this happened, domestic
lenders would lose money, Australian
institutions would charge higher lending
rates to recoup higher borrowing costs,
and exchange-rate sensitivity would affect
Australia's competitiveness.
"This is a very, very big risk out in
the international economy at the moment,"
he said.
"And believe me, Australia will not be
immune. It will take a lot of management
to get us through this."
Mr Costello said periods of strong growth
in Australia had always ended in inflation
and high interest rates"
