An Early Election?

That's the loser lefty definition of successful

Monk thinks he was 'successful' because in leftyloserville, that's about as high as they ever go. Not being sued, going bankrupt, committing suicide, killing someone, sending another biz broke etc is how they measure success in leftyloserville ALP land

The concept of creating an ongoing concern is waaaay beyond his ability

Have you ever seen a show called the "Trailer Park Boys"....

That provides an overview of Monks lifestyle and mindset.

That jealousy just burns, eh SN, IQ?

I've seen your hovel on google
You haven't got anything to be proud of there

It's even below par compared to most other houses in one of the worst suburbs in SA. That's a pretty good effort considering how lower class the suburb is

All you could afford eh?

[Jovial Monk]

It burns and burns and burns in your guts.

Go take another 3 codeine tablets washed down with half a bottle of whiskey, then you might be able to forget I ran two profitable, even iconic businesses.

That you couldn't even give away

[Jovial Monk]

Why would I want to give them away? Geez, pounding those codeine tablets pretty hard IQ!

Australia, driven by the biggest resource-investment expansion since the 19th century, is poised to overtake debt-laden Spain as the world’s 12th largest economy, measured by gross domestic product.

Australia’s $1.379 trillion economy will probably supplant Spain’s $1.386 trillion GDP this quarter, data compiled by Bloomberg from the national statistics agencies of both countries show.

Shows the value of stimulus v austerity!

Australia the twelfth largest economy!

Population of Spain at least double our population!

Spain doesn't have much to dig out of the ground.

[Jovial Monk]

Spain has been applying austerity, choking its own economy while we ran a very successful stimulus program.

The actual mining adds only 5% to the economy and is squeezing out manufaturing by paying more for labor and capital. It also caused the $A to rise, further squeezing manufacturing and hurting agriculture and services.
