Many of Government's problems are largely Swan's

Yes, it is the government's misjudgement and mismanagement that exacerbate the current manufacturing problems. However, I would attribute the bulk of the government's problems to the Treasurer Mr Swan.

Many of the government's problems are economic problems that are inherently Treasurer's main responsibility.
Rudd's mining tax problem, and the corporate tax relief problem and Gillard's carbon tax problem, they can all be related to Swan's poor judgements and poor management of economic policies.

Needless to say, Swan played a very poor role in Rudd's disposal.
