That's particularly the case in politics when even the most innocent remark continues to be thrown back in a pollie's face.
Then there was treasurer Wayne Swan's promise to deliver a surplus in 2012, a commitment blown away by collapsing tax receipts. Decisions in Washington, London, Tokyo and increasingly, Beijing, have a bigger impact on our economy than anything that goes down in Canberra. Having delighted in the travails that have beset previous governments in the recent past, however, Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Treasurer Josh Frydenberg will be facing an uphill battle if they attempt to blame forces outside their control for our current situation.It's possible the promised budget surplus won't eventuate. Not only that, it appears we are heading for, if not a recession, then at the very least a temporary downturn.
Something you might not realise ABC is that a surplus is the result of mathematics, not developed as a result of one of your opinionated analyses.

'Major stoush' between NSW and Federal govt over bushfire recovery | Sky News AustraliaPolitical Editor Andrew Clennell says Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s Royal Commission announcement last week “raised again the issues of tension between the Federal and NSW governments”. \n\nThe announcement outlined future circumstances where the federal government “might intervene” in areas that are usually “state responsibility”, such as hazard reduction and allowing defence forces in “without state permission”. \n \nMr Clennell told Sky News there was a “major stoush” and “at one stage things had deteriorated so much that Premier Gladys Berejiklian was refusing the prime minister’s calls when they were looking to work out the bushfire cleanup arrangements”.\n\nHe said Mr Morrison reportedly “initially questioned the funding of the $800 million to one billion clean up on a 50\u002F50 basis because of the cost and believed the scope of the proposal was outside the Black Saturday arrangements employed in Victoria in 2009”. \n\n“NSW sources do question why the prime minister was questioning this issue given some of his comments in January about doing anything it takes to fund recovery from the crisis” he said. \n\n“The Premier's office has not denied this business with not taking the prime ministers calls or the dispute over funding' but “Mr Morrison denies quibbling over the fund or any problem with his relationship with the premier.”\n\nImage: Getty

The Lopez Effect: I'll have what she's having, thanksIt's common for Australians around the age of 50 to feel a push to do what makes them feel most alive. I've still got 4.5 years until then, if i make it assume i'll feel the same.. It means to be born 50 years ago. Still means the same 😀

Farmer worried trauma of fire crisis will drive rural residents away for goodA Victorian cattle farmer fears Australia's bushfire disaster — and the threat of more to come — will drive people out of his community. The reality is that the agricultural sector is going to be dominated by large industrial farming corporations. Small farmers will be priced out by economies of scale and there will be further drift to the cities. The fires will just hurry up the procedure.
