I doubt either of them is going to have the stomach to do anything substantive.

I don't see where you get this from. Liberals have done a heap of very unpopular stuff that was great for the country - introduced consumption based taxation (GST) - a massive and highly unpopular change, sold off Telstra, work for the dole, made industrial relations laws more competitive, given people freedom of choice with respect to unions (forced association is pure communism), and privatized a couple of large sectors. And changed the higher education system, which was very unpopular and may or may not have been good for the country.
I'm curious what the basis for your quote is, and why people hold this perception.
