People who are considering which party they'll vote for don't care
about stuff like that. Andrew Robb has at least twice described
Australia as having a 1 trillion dollar economy while Coalition
advertising descriobes it as a 1.1 trillion dollar economy. So are we
to conclude that the economy has shrunk by 100 billion dollars since
the campaign ads were printed?

It's fun for us of course, but the average voter couldn't care less.

Not even worth mentioning, really. You must waste a lot of time
cackling inanely if you think that's funny.
