There was some analysis of this proposal on Radio National's 'Breakfast' this morning.

The analyst suggested it was based on some optimistic assumptions (or words to that effect).


This is Gillard's specialty:  the warm and fuzzy sounding headlines, viz saving households on electricity (never mind her input of the carbon tax, that doesn't count), the NDIS where only a very small trial is funded, and the Gonski reforms, the funding for which seems unknown.


She seems to operate on the probably correct belief that many people will just hear the headline stuff and not follow up on whether there's actually any account for how this magic will happen.


Perhaps something more for the Opposition to point out a bit more often.
