Reference:- Angus Taylor has the fact checkers rolling their eyes in disbelief .
Dear Angus ,
It sure must be difficult coming to grips with a new portfolio . Especially after being in government for so long . A cushy decade in government with nothing much to do except run your family businesses has allowed you to lose touch a tad .....ahem .
Anyway Angus , I have paraphrased below a conversation we had here at the Sky Reply while watching your interview on the ( taxpayer funded ) ABC .
" Angus Taylor just said we have the highest inflation in the G7 . " , Ken junior said .
" What is the G7 ? " , Monte said .
" It's an alliance of 7 advanced economies in the Northern Hemisphere ", Ken junior said .
" But we are not in the Northern Hemisphere . " , Monte said .
" That is why we are not in the G7 . " Ken junior said .
" But Angus Taylor just said that we are in the G7. " , Monte said .
" Yes he did . " , Ken junior said .
" Maybe he only meant to say that we have higher inflation than all those G7 countries . ", Monte said .
" We don't , several G7 countries have higher inflation than us . " , Ken junior said .
" Are you saying Angus Taylor has absolutely no idea what he is talking about ? " , Monte said .
" Yes ", Ken junior said .
( Ken junior often annoys me with ambiguous replies like that , but what can you do ? )
You can see the downside of not knowing your subject matter Angus . It might be worth getting somebody over for dinner who knows all about being a treasurer , and jotting down a few notes .
Paul Keating would be your man for that I reckon , and I am sure he would enjoy a philosophical conversation around the fireplace with another man of keen intellect like yourself .
But don't forget to have notepad and biro in hand .
Your comrade , Ken .
