Gina Rinehart and Australia's debt - or is it?

I am so glad, Ms Rinehart, that you raised the 'debt' issue. Debt is a dirty word isn't it? Australians deplore debt because debt implies that we are shackled to the lenders, debt makes us slaves to the bankers, debt imprisons us in a life of drudgery, debt is expensive. And the last thing a government should be is in debt. After all, look at the financial meltdown in Europe all because of debt. At least that's what you would like us to think.
