Without objective critical analysis or informed debate, the Washington Consensus principles of fiscal austerity, privatisation and liberalisation are likely to be implemented in Australia. The economic consequences are likely to be a boon for the wealthy – including overseas "investors" – and increased costs and rising inequality for the ordinary Australian citizen, as overseas experience has shown.

The Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF) has taken aim at the coal-fired power industry and the mining sector in a report naming and shaming Australia's top 10 worst polluters.

Labor has condemned Prime Minister Tony Abbott's claim that Australia was heading for a "Greek-style economic future" as inflammatory, irresponsible and capable of harming economic confidence.

The Prime Minister should be far more responsible than this constant scaremongering which is having a clear impact on confidence in the community 

Mr Abbott made the remark during a radio interview in which he pledged he would not fix the federal budget this year at the expense of households but predicted a "broad budget balance" within five years.

Then Daley took on Hockey's claim that he was delivering the biggest infrastructure program in Australian history.

"It certainly hasn't gone up," he said. "It's probably tailed off, at least in as a percentage of GDP."

Hockey said Daley was wrong. "For a start we put $1.5 billion into WestConnex in Sydney," he said.

Daley reminded him that the project predated the Abbott government. He said not a single new project approved in Hockey's first budget had received a green light from Infrastructure Australia.

In December, when a mentally ill Texas man convicted of murder was poised to be executed—and a number of prominent conservatives were calling to postpone the killing—Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) declined to criticize the pending execution.

You will need to go a very long way and look very carefully to find a worse decision than yesterday’s one to restore Automotive Transformation Scheme funding until the car industry shuts up shop in 2017.

Some decisions are bad policy but good politics, or vice versa. Some are good decisions but are poorly implemented, or vice versa.

the liberal (CONservative) catholics that had infiltrated the Labor party piss on workers, once more...

stalwarts tell fibs...

When Martin Ferguson (left in the toon) retired from parliament, he was lauded by Tony Abbott with fond tears in his eyes, as "representing "old Catholic Labor" (which Tony Turdy contemplated with B A Santamaria's DLP) or such... Since then, Ferguson has joined the "corporates".

The Federal Opposition is demanding the Prime Minister apologise after he suggested it is a lifestyle choice to live in remote indigenous communities.

Back in the days of Dubya, YameriKa was like an episode of the famous Springfield family... (above mischief by Gus Leonisky — 2008). Now it's a bit more like "Everyone Loves Obama (Raymond)" and "That 70's Show" mixed with the "Vampires"...
