...and how do you figure that then-excluding our current one who only took over last Dec-his two predecessors were in the job for 8 and 9 years respectively-in 18 years we've had three-Australia has had 5-one of whom didn't even make it to three months in office..
the last two NZ administrations each returned in office for three successive terms each...yes that DEFINITELY sounds unstable...
Under our current PM-then minister of finance, we came through the global financial crisis virtually untouched-so yes-we MUST have had an unstable economy...
'unsustainable'....you mean like digging stuff up out of the ground and selling it offshore?.....in a diminishing demand world market?......remind me again which way international dairy is heading?...
In the spirit of fairness i will concede you the diminished labour productivity point
