"The Answer Is Liberal": Australia After Hawke

I
Interesting. Guessing that the next Federal Election will be like the 1998 Election except with different personalities. That is assuming the idea gets pass the Coalition Party Room, of course.

Interesting dynamic with Fischer asking questions about the GST because he's in government in this OTL rather in opposition.

I don't think it can be like 1998... the economy is in shambles, comparatively speaking, and the Liberals under Peacock and Hewson are proposing austerity and tax hikes rather than Howard's comfortable middle-class welfare state...
 
austerity in this country, at least traditionally, has not gone down well with the voters at all. I'm keen to see how this will be brought up in parliament (7 years early no less).
