Without the benefits of unprecedented economic prosperity and a once-
in-a-lifetime mining boom, the Liberals run the economy ... how?

They run it as they did when Howard was Treasurer.

Howard was Federal Treasurer from 1977-1983. Comparing before-and-
after figures.

BUDGET DEFICIT
Before Howard $3.2 billion
After Howard $4.3 billion

INFLATION
Before Howard 8 per cent
After Howard 11 per cent

GROWTH RATE
Before Howard 1.6 per cent
After Howard negative 0.4 per cent

UNEMPLOYMENT
Before Howard 6.3 per cent
After Howard 10.2 per cent
