I'm not being critical of Rudd Keating etc at all.
I'm simply saying that all governments of all persuasions have contributed enormously to middle class welfare.
I chose free university because that has played out.
Even as a died in the wool Labor man I thought that would be the best example to use as surely you are aware that some working people went to university as a result of the policy but overwhelmingly it was the middle class who availed themselves of free university.
I'm saying to you that your partisan view of politics is blinding you to the fact that all politicians buy votes, you just excuse it when your mob does it as your above post demonstrates.
Stimulus spending/programs from Rudd/Gillard was still happening into the Abbott government well well past the GFC.
