hows hockey ummm this isn't US politics drongo

Federal Treasurer Joe Hockey has warned of a possible United States-style government shutdown if Labor refuses to support lifting the debt ceiling to $500 billion.

Labor is refusing to agree to the Government's plan, instead offering to increase the debt limit to $400 billion.

Mr Hockey has warned that the figure is not enough and has raised the prospect of taking drastic action. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-11-14/hockey-warns-of-us-style-shutdown/5090722
