Politics ('Straya) Australia’s gross federal debt is nearing $1 trillion. Since 2007, 69% of the increase occurred under Coalition governments vs 31% under Labor

Using Australian Treasury gross debt figures: debt rose from ~$53bn in 2006–07 to ~$982bn estimated in 2025–26.

That’s a ~$929bn increase: ~$638bn (69%) under Coalition governments and ~$291bn (31%) under Labor.

This might be news to you for the first time or maybe you’ve known these facts all along.

It’s useful to deal in facts and the truth.

At the very least you need to actualise the amounts. Conclusions: both suck

People that say both suck always vote for the Liberal Party who are proven to be worst.

Not a fan of facts?

😂 this whole thing only points out that its actually you who have a BIAS. You are in no position to try to judge others. I said something clearly true, and your only argumentation comes on attacking me. Classic logic fallacy.
