Australian Treasurer Peter Costello has announced that all the Liberal's election promises will have to be re-examined in light of the terrorist attack on Aussie defence forces in Baghdad.
"They have knocked out 2 APCs which is 50% of our force. Those things cost a fortune so I think we need to make sure we can replace them without blowing the budget. I think the best way to do that is to re-examine all the spending priorities of the Government," Costello told Xenox News political reporter Tom Titmouse tonight.

More Howard lies.The LibNats lied throughout the election campaign about interest rates, they lied about their rosy economic forecast, but the truth is - as it always was - Australia is about to hit a brick wall. Go on Johnny, who will you blame this time? Latham? Terrorism? Or your wimpy Treasurer Costello? Aussies are fair dinkum dumb fucks to have been so sucked in!

Ahhhh... Remember the good old days when Australia had a Treasurer who kept the budget in the black and a PM the envy of the world? Look at the mess we are in now... And it will only get worse when the Greens get the balance of power in the senate and unleash their socialist nonsense on us all.

No can't say I do remember. I have scoured the history books and also couldn't find any such recollections.
