President of the World Game - Official Thread

[Smid]

I haven't really got time to play this, but I think that given the current economic crisis, Peter Costello (Member for Higgins, 1990-2009, Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party, 1994-2007, Treasurer of Australia, 1996-2007, Chair of OECD Ministerial, 2000, Chair of APEC Finance Ministers, 2007, Chair of the G20, 2006, a Governor of the World Bank and Asian Development Bank for ~10 years, currently on an Independent Advisory Board to the World Bank) would make a strong candidate.

Fiscally conservative, he delivered twelve consecutive federal budgets, ten of which were surpluses. He paid off over $96 billion in debt inherited when he took office, to leave the government finances in a surplus position. He also re-regulated aspects of the financial services industry in the late 1990s, which has resulted in the larger Australian banks being in a position to increase their market capitalisation during the current financial crisis.

If someone were to play as him, he would be a member of the Democratic Union.

Why not give it a go? I don't think it would take too much of your time.

I've already got my fingers in a few pies, plus it looks extremely likely we'll be in an election campaign within the next couple of weeks (PM's widely tipped to be visiting the GG on Sunday morning for an August 28 election date). If so, I'm going to have virtually no spare time.

Also edited my earlier quote here, to finish the thought since that first sentence ended quite abruptly before.
