Ms Gratton reminds me of that "why wasn't I told" character of early tv fame.<br /><br />Kohler's article mixes timeframes to establish his premise. I cannot see, for instance, how Wilkie's $100M amendment "gap" relates to 2019-20 $4.2Bn super "cost to budget" and $9.4Bn "concessions". I would rabbit on about just these three figures more, except I know your spam machine would censor me...<br /><br />Suffice to say at this point that your 'arial view misleads/hides' some of the important issues is well put, and that all of it anyway is highly dependent upon what happens elsewhere in the next 6-12 months; by which I mean Europe, USA, China.<br /><br />kvdAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
