Sounds like a tautology, like the reform can only happen when the economic conditions necessitate it, like no shit.

Also even the article explains that Joe Hockey's tenure saw stupid deficits, so he can shut the fuck up for the rest of time.

Nobody likes to trash populism more than me, but blaming it for increasing spending when you used it to cut taxes is insane.

Conversations about national deficits are always like this, no one wants to talk about taxes so they ratchet down while we juggle spending a million different ways. We need a government brave enough to tell voters to get fucked and raise the tax rate to cover what they want to spend and not be apologetic about it.

Or they could increase taxes on billionaires. You know, the people who have the most money and can afford the highest taxes.

Just once, to see what it's like.

He's calling for a financial crisis so that the reforms he wants can be justified.
