Given the US solution to their current financial problems echo that of 1930s Germany (yeehar, print more cash woohoo!), we will have worldwide inflation (not just loacl pressures) to contend with."If the labour market tightens too rapidly, this can lead to a wages breakout and higher inflation," NAB Capital chief economist Rob Henderson explained.
You could say exactly the same in Queensland. The Opposition here is simply pathetic, reflecting the woeful performance of the leader.NSW right is about to get an absolute flogging in the coming state poll unless of course Barry O'Farrell blows it which is still surprisingly entirely possible.
NSW state Labor of course needs punishment but god why cant the Liberals find some one who is fit to lead.
Well, given that his popularity rating has increased by 2 points during the recent period during which he has said virtually nothing, he is perhaps wisely deciding that the less he says the more popular he will be.Where has the human headline Abbott been lately?

I'd trust Henderson over the ex-AMP guy Shane Oliver anyday.
I was responding to TS's post about inflation which was discussing the economy in the context of the current government, and was referencing the post WW1 period (30s) as opposed to the post WW2 period.Germany's post war economic policies appear to have worked to their long term benefit. They lost the war, had to pay for it, and now they have one of the strongest economies in Europe. Not sure what this has to do with Julia though, is she still prime minister?
Yes I think so....This government (and presumably the next) does need to have plans in place to tackle global inflation.
Yes, I read Greg Sheridan's article this morning. He's quite right.
To be using the international stage to continue bagging Australian banks is completely inappropriate and demonstrates her naivete on foreign affairs.
As Mr Sheridan remarks, her behaviour is 'provincial'.
He is also one of The Australian's resident NeoCons.I thought "Sheridan" made footballs for the AFL?
He is also one of The Australian's resident NeoCons.
While my paltry understanding of politics pales in the light of your omniscience in the matter, Sheridan fits the wiki definition of a neo-conservative quite well, particularly a Bush-era one.Oh brother this is ridiculous. Anyone to the right of Pol Pot is a neo-con or "far right".
Get a grip.
If he looks like one, smells like one and tastes like one, isn't he one? In what ways isn't he a neocon? He was pro pre-emptive action in Iraq, he was one of the WMD cheerleaders. He is still in favour of military action on Iran. He was virtually in lock-step with all that was sprouted from Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld.Neoconservatism is a political philosophy that supports using economic and military power to bring liberalism, democracy, and human rights to other countries. In economics, unlike paleoconservatives and libertarians, neoconservatives are generally comfortable with a limited welfare state; and, while rhetorically supportive of free markets, they are willing to interfere for overriding social purposes.
To be fair, I've not seen him champion Tony Abbott as the saviour Australia is waiting for as PM, so conclude he's still capable of delivering reasonable criticism all round.
As Wayne says, neocon or not (and do we really need the labels?), it doesn't make him wrong in his criticism about our current Prime Minister.
Even when I'm right I'm wrong. You're goodConceded.
Not buying into this one, but that's an interesting definition of a neocon, it would capture a good chunk of the parliament, across all parties, even a Green or two.While my paltry understanding of politics pales in the light of your omniscience in the matter, Sheridan fits the wiki definition of a neo-conservative quite well, particularly a Bush-era one.
