We are stronger now that we do not carry $96 billion worth of debt. We are stronger now that we have had nine surplus budgets. We are stronger now that we have established the Future Fund. We are stronger now that we have reformed the tax system. We are stronger now that we have Work Choices. Are we strong enough to withstand a Labor government? No way!
