  1. Technically the June quarter of 2020 when the Australian economy tanked 7% is the biggest recession the country has had since the 1930s depression. But hey don’t let facts get in the way of your unhinged rant.

  2. And your evidence for this claim is?

  3.  @Nathan-ry3yu  OMG you have selective history disorder. The 1973 recession was a mostly a inflation led oil supply issue. The 1990 recession was led buy the 1987 stock market crash (you conveniently left that little economic fact out of your deluded one sided selective memory disorder). The Keating government may have done more to lessen the impact on people, but it certainly didn’t cause the worldwide recession. Due to fiscal policies by the Rudd/Gillard governments Australia missed out on the 2008 recession caused by the Global financial disaster (started in America due to poor banking regulations) and then the 2020 pandemic recession which needs no explanation. To its credit the Morrison government did try its best to limit the damage through its fiscal policy and we did rebound relatively quickly. There was no recession in Australia in 2000 in fact after the 1990 recession Australia had 30 years of continuous economic growth only broken by the Pandemic recession in 2020. I have no idea what you are talking about with a recession in 2000 and I’m pretty sure you don’t either. Under Keating GDP fell 1.7% under Morrison 7%. Again you have your data factually wrong. The recession in1990 certainly lasted longer 12 month’s as opposed to the 6 months in 2020 and yes the 1990 recession caused untold hardship, but do some reading. Paul Keating did not repeat did not cause the 1987 international stock market slump.
