LET'S be factual.

Under Hawke and Keating we endured a global recession not seen since the depression.

In 2008 we had the GFC when, against the economic rationalism of the LNP and others, Labor employed monetary policy to prevent recession.

The LNP have never had to steer us through a recession.

I know who I would trust more to get us through the next six years.
