Sure, never said i didn't and definately never said the LNP did either.
Stimulus is what you make of it though. Give the man a fish or teach a man to fish.
I never got me a new TV, and I voted differently at the next election.

Some truths are eternal.
“I did not mean that Conservatives are generally stupid; I meant, that stupid persons are generally Conservative. I believe that to be so obvious and undeniable a fact that I hardly think any hon. Gentleman will question it." [John Stuart Mill, in a Parliamentary debate with the Conservative MP, John Pakington, May 31, 1866.]

The current government were dragged kicking and screaming to provide stimulus in the current situation - it doesn't fit their ideology to intervene. If you want proof of this look at their initial response, it was pathetic and had to be increased exponentially.
Everyone has made mistakes, at least they have learned that their ideology is ill-equipped to deal with the pandemic and the knock on effects to the economy and taken action.
I wouldn't say they are doing a splendid job, they are getting crap for the massive miscalculation just as any government would. At least the right wing cheer quad which dominates the media are softening the blow for them.

The RWFWs are so used to bitching and moaning about everything they have to invent new stuff to whinge about. .
The media on the ALP's side? That's gold. With David Speers, Leigh Sales, Fran Kelly and Hamish McDonald (he's probably the most balanced from the little I've seen) heading up the ABC flagships, Ita has even got Aunty cheerleading and excusing for this corrupt, inept government.
You thought sports rorts was corrupt.

Michael Pascoe: The grants scandal vastly bigger than #sportsrorts
Call #sportsrorts a scandal? The Community Development Grants program is 11 times the size of #sportsrorts and a more blatant bias towards Coalition seats.

What about cash refunds of franking credits? That's a cash bonus to lots of people.And of course the people who Howard and Costello gave thousands of dollars to in the baby bonus scheme didn't buy any TV's
A mates daughter is a junkie, she had 5 children under the baby bonus scheme.
Another Howard/Costello one
Yes, and they allowed their fat cat mates to rip $1 million out of their family trusts and put it into their superannuation.
- Meanwhile the Feds have increased internet surveillance
- are stripping away even more environmental regulations and protections post bushfires
- are now planning remove even more workers' rights even though the pandemic has demonstrated how vulnerable our casualised workforce is, through the removal of the awards system and enterprise agreements
- employed a man who works for Saudi oil to write a report recommending that the government build the infrastructure for gas pipelines opening up a lucrative export market for big foreign companies instead of investing in renewables
- are already talking austerity which will cripple the post-pandemic economic recovery
- Scomo now claiming he will build up skills training after the LNP has ripped billions out of TAFE and vocational education for the past 7 years
WA didn't need this. ANOTHER Infected boat received permission from the Federal Government to dock.
Almost 50 crew on live export ship at risk after coronavirus outbreak in WA
Six crew members of the live export ship Al Kuwait docked in Fremantle test positive for coronavirus, with the WA Premier accusing the Federal Government of allowing the ship to berth despite health concerns on board.

Seriously, how can Dutton's department STILL not have a protocol for testing naval crewmembers for COVID-19 BEFORE the ships dock at port?! It's not rocket science! You send a Border Force boat out with the testing kits and medical staff to test the crew while the ship is offshore FFS.
I'd be absolutely filthy if I was living in Fremantle right now. The whole enquiry into Ruby Princess has also gone very quiet. The LNP has a lot to answer for here.

So a troll is now someone who doesnt follow the blind faith of you mob on here.
Welcome to the intolerant left.
i reckon those you named are good journos (tho not sold on McDonald). They typically question the decisions of the government of the day, and question the opposition- this hard questioning is what leads right wingers to label the media as left wing- they are more accustomed to the nutters on Sky after dark and the Herald Sun.
There's always hope brother, and the good fight is always there to be fought. If you don't care about these policy issues, just say so. But they are real.
