同意

是的

Historically, the Liberal National Party (LNP) in Australia has advocated for fiscal conservatism, which includes reducing government debt and public sector borrowing. This stance is rooted in the party's broader economic philosophy that emphasizes balanced budgets, low taxation, and minimal government intervention in the economy. For instance, during the tenure of former Prime Minister John Howard (a member of the Liberal Party, which is part of the coalition that forms the LNP), there was a significant effort to pay down public debt. However, the score is not a full 5 because, in practice, circumstances such as the global financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic have led to increased public sector borrowing under LNP governments to stimulate the economy, showing some flexibility in their approach.

不同意

Given the LNP's historical commitment to fiscal conservatism and reducing government debt, they would generally disagree with the idea of not reducing public sector borrowing. The party's economic policies and campaign platforms often emphasize the importance of budget surpluses and debt reduction as means to ensure economic stability and growth. However, the score is not a full -5 because, as seen in recent years, LNP governments have been willing to increase public sector borrowing in response to significant economic downturns and crises, indicating a pragmatic approach to fiscal policy when deemed necessary.
