Not the vague and mysterious "future test" that Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard use to endorse any amount of government spending proposed by the ALP, and condemn any government spending OR tax-cut proposed by the Liberals. How about a size of government test ? $4.7 billion towards broadband - FAIL. $5 billion towards an education endowment fund - FAIL One off payments for elderly and pensioners - FAIL One off payments for carers - FAIL Billions in subsidies for solar energy - FAIL Billions in subsidies for water tanks - FAIL The only policy that would get a tick of approval with this focus in mind would be tax cuts.
