And this information comes from organisations with no political axe to grind.

Some good achievements there. Though we are going through some tough times, we are far better off than most other countries, though I don't believe the GFC is over yet

The government must be doing something right,

Yup !!!  They are borrowing to the hilt and spending like a drunken sailor, the money lenders love that so why would they not give an AAA rating?

As long as they think the stupid taxpayers can pay it back they are laughing all the way to the bank

I by contrast don't have a credit rating at all, ...........oh and I have no debts either 🙂

its  impressive, and remarkable at the same time that people are ignorant of the achievements of this parliament.  aussie journo's are known to miss stories though, fear of unemployment causes  them to be selective, knowing what happens to dissenters or the unconventional .. they have to leave or live in embassies.

Poddster, debt and borrowing is factored into the rating.

What a pity nobody cares or wants to listen to Labor anymore.

Poddster, debt and borrowing is factored into the rating.

Yes it is, and that just highlights what I have said.

money lenders just love borrowers 🙂
