Scotty claims that our government is the only one thinking 6 months ahead. That may well be the case, but where's the thinking/modelling behind it?

I'd like to see some details of the alleged modelling.  To begin with, was it an all day love-in in front of a whiteboard (lunch supplied)?  Or a static analysis done on a spreadsheet?  Or a full event simulation with sensitivity checks?  Or...  What are the details?  What was actually being modelled and how?

The Salesman is desparately trying to look in charge and in control of the situation.  With allegations in relation to the Ruby Princess & the Liberal Party being aired in normally responsible media you'd think the Government would be going out of its' way to look credible & responsible, not indulging in marketing snow jobs.
