The Government has turned to do what Wayne Swann did to fight the GST handed out money but not quite as universally across the board. More to those that don't need it and less to those that do. Ins some cases over x10 times more to those at the top and they refuse to budge saying it's all or nothing rigid management. Blame the opposition as Tony Abbott did (ODT)
The national accounts released on Wednesday were, by any measure, poor. A 0.4 per cent lift in the March quarter, half of which was statistical noise, took annual growth to its lowest level since the GFC.
Yet Scott Morrison and Treasurer Josh Frydenberg cannot show any sign of panic given just three weeks ago they were telling voters the economy's fundamentals were sound under their watch.

At the time of the respective publications, Part 6 of the act related only to unauthorised disclosure of information by Commonwealth officers - public servants - not the journalists and editors involved in publication.
But the ABC had said it was being pursued in relation to alleged breaches of section 79 of the act, which fell under Part 7 and related to "official secrets".
The ABC's editorial director Craig McMurtrie expressed concern on Wednesday afternoon that there was no public interest defence in the section of the Crimes Act under which the ABC was being pursued.
The government has said the AFP conducted the raids as part of investigations into alleged breaches of national security laws referred to the AFP by senior public servants.But on Thursday shadow attorney-general Mark Dreyfus accused Prime Minister Scott Morrison of "letting this happen" and said Mr Morrison did not believe in press freedom.
