You could probably fit in the budget outcome somewhere too. That fiscal policy in 04-05 was moderately expansionary with a balanced budget outcome of $0.7bn.

agreed, no way it could be 20%. above 5% and you have the IMF invading you country to 'fix' the problem... i think its around 4.5% but i cant find a recent stat.

public debt is 3% of gdp down from a high of 19% in 1995 - 96.
