Delusions of grandeur, difficult realities not addressed

I reflected a little, before dropping off to sleep, on what I had written yesterday.

St Kevin may truly have 'jumped the shark' with his performance during and since the budget.

The first thing is, this is a lazy budget. In a surprisingly good budget in reply speech, The Terminator mentioned that despite creating a $58 billion deficit, St Kevin and Brother Wayne had managed to find less than $2 billion in savings.

$2 billion, in a budget of around $300 billion! That's less than 1 per cent!

Rather than doing the hard work in identifying budget savings, Kevin was preoccupied early this year writing his execrable essay for the Monthly. His priorities aren't straight.

Follow this with the plain idiocy of squirming around in an attempt to avoid mentioning the size of the net and gross debt figures, and the hard people of the party, not to mention the backbenchers, must be shaking their heads wondering what on earth their leader is up to. The electorate certainly is.

Especially, if reports are to be believed, St Kev plans to use the Prime Ministership as a stepping stone to leadership of the UN.

His interests aren't exactly aligned with theirs. Nor with the interests of the electorate.

Meanwhile, the economy, and the budget, continue to deteriorate. We will likely be paying for St Kevin's Gaullist delusions of grandeur for a long time to come.
