The other parties claim to love prudence, even though Greens are usually the only ones suggesting actual savings (1, 2, 3, just for starters). Their own finances normally tell a different story. Labour and the Tories have long shown substantial and damning incompetence with their own money, even if their bankers bale them out over and over again.
It's no surprise that the Liberals are now in the same position.
Their policy platforms are bankrupt, their leadership candidates are a busted flush, their largest donor is on the run from a fraud trial, and, as the auditors have said:
"These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the party's ability to continue as a going concern."
