The future of Mr. Peter Costello.(budget and economic policy)
The past three months have seen two major political developments--the Prime Minister's so-called "Athens declaration" and associated political brouhaha, and the federal Budget for 2005-06. Common to both are the personality and performance of the Treasurer, Peter Costello.
In what follows I propose first to assess the quality of Mr. Costello's tenth Budget and comment upon his performance more generally in the Treasury portfolio. I shall then note some lessons from the "Athens declaration" incident regarding the behaviour of the Treasurer. Finally, I shall pose some suggestions for appropriately disposing of the now too-longrunning "Costello for P.M." saga.
