Joe Hockey has the intestinal fortitude to front up on live TV tonight and tell the QandA audience & Australia,
that the Budget is entirely necessary. Good onya Joe. He grows in stature with every response to the audience.
Without action now, he knows Australia will be in significant trouble, he knows many people will regard the economic
medicine as a very bitter pill, he knows the whining lefty ideologues and media will exaggerate the community pain for political gain,
but he also knows the nation needs a swift kick up the derriere, in order for it to wake up to the brave new Asian century, and he is doing it.

Well done Joe....you're well on your way to legendary national political status. (I'll send you some cigars ).
