Costello's incoherent argument against the flood levy

Is it just me, or does his arguments seem economically illiterate for "the world's greatest treasurer"?

And why is the argument about the "wasteful school hall construction program" still going? I thought it had been discovered that there was only 2% inefficiency - which is much lower than the private programs that the Howard Government lumbered us with.

And the missing word from your argument against the levy, Peter, is "infrastructure" - unless you want charities to pay Queenslanders to rebuild their own infrastructure themselves. I'm sure there's heaps of private contractors that you and Abbott can recommend.

God, he's like a vile stain that just won't wash out...
