As much as I dislike Tanya's demeanour, I think Tim Blair should lift his game out of his obvious contempt for women.... an over bearing mother perhaps?

He even admits his immaturity and keeps company with the racist bloke who, amongst other things, made a taxpayer funded doco Dumb, Drunk& Racist to whip up Indian hatred of us, :

Please join me and Joe Hildebrand as we discuss the week’s events. Be amazed as two semi-adults achieve occasional coherence on the topics of Movember, dead communists, RSL dress codes and dining with George Brandis, all while dodging incoming jet aircraft. Annabel Crabb’s obvious fascism is also reviewed..

I suppose all the rusted on ASF Labor supporters, will be jumping in and buying up BHP at $20, what with all the super profits it's a no brainer.

The Labor Party underpinned their nation building policy, on the super profits they were going to make, absolute dicks.
Union hacks, does not a Government make.lol
Bring back Keating and Hawke, or Labor are gone.

What about their latest attempt at a celebrity candidate?

Does a bloke who wanted to quit AFL football because he got booed have the thick hide required for the cut and thrust of federal politics? I think he would end up crying into his cornflakes.

 

[Logique]

Tend to agree.

I think Adam would be better suited to task forces and quangos, than the brutal cut and thrust of parliament.

I would advise him against, whichever political party that approaches him.

Agree with that summary on the Howard / Costello years.

It is amazing that so many conservative commentators criticise governments adopting Keynesian economics when Keynes would have suggested the Australian govt led by Howard withdraw expenditure throughout the mining boom so we would have had savings to deploy now, rather than having to rely solely on interest rates at levels that would have to be distorting long term rational investment. We actually have to withdraw govt spending (to reign in the deficit) at the worst possible time.

All that said Rudd / Gillard years were even worse in my opinion. The day before the school hall / $1000 cheque budget I was excited with all the speculation about a big infrastructure spend... As I read the budget that morning I had a feeling of total disappointment. While the labor party can be proud of their contribution to the harbour bridge, snowy river scheme and many other projects, the labor party of the 21st century doesn't even get the one thing they have historically been good at right; backing projects with vision.

Before anyone says it, I don't watch anywhere near enough live streaming pornography for me to consider the NBN visionary....

The problem with Keynesianism is that it is only invoked as economies get into trouble.

Can you show me one government in the English speaking world, ever, that practiced 'true vine' Keynesianism?

Despite the big gu'mint implications of it, I could live with it if properly practiced, but governments, even Social Dem ones just don't. It just isn't politically expedient in boom times.

 

[sptrawler]

Another Labor stuff up, that they won't own up to, ranks alongside the MRRT.

I wish it wasn't so, but you are right. Is that a problem with Keynesian economics though? Should we throw the baby out with the bath water, so to speak?

Maybe this infrastructure bank both sides of politics are keen on could be the answer?

Take 10pc of our taxes and lock them into this bank.

Have a board where most are infrastructure specialists but two or 3 are economists who decide how much of the kitty is spent each year. Seperate the power to spend (in part only) from politicians. The decision on what to build could ultimately still be theirs but how much is released could be seperate akin to the reserve bank board.

It works with the reserve around monetary policy (well better than politicians deciding...) why couldn't it work around fiscal policy?

I see Fairfax are starting to crank up the anti Turnbull press.

Jeez they really have lost the plot, why not run some reports on what both parties are offering.

Malcolm has impressed a lot of people who aren't going to vote for him.

He looks more and more like a windbag.

Obama has enough nous to know about the perennial cross ditch baiting and the newspapers make out there's something serious going on? Where are the grown ups in the press?

He's a 1000% better than the mug Julie Bishop had him replace IMO.

He's obviously doing too well in the polls for their liking.

From the article,

Microphones picked up Mr Obama, seated next to Mr Turnbull, asking about who he was meeting at the conference.

It looks like the only return Barack Obama had to Malcolm's response was to essentially be rude.

After Mr Turnbull mentioned he would be meeting his Kiwi counterpart Prime Minister John Key, Mr Obama replied: "So you actually, er, you actually talk to the New Zealanders?"

Barack Obama I would have thought would not be one who would have to chase such cheap publicity. In that and what followed, it was Barack who was out of his depth.

If the US President was joking, it wasn't exactly obvious. Mr Turnbull seemed to take him seriously, replying: "I do. He is a real role model."

Mr Obama again: "Nah, he's a wonderful guy. He and I have become good friends and not just because we play golf together."

The image says it all.

Lighten up Smith, Obama has a sense of humour.

Anyway, Obama can say what ever he likes, he is the leader of the free world. Mal is the unelected leader of a banana republic and has been on the job for a whole 66 days.

Get back to us when Turnbull takes charge of the New World Order.

I took Obama's remark to be a tongue in cheek reference to the Rugby World Cup result.

I don't think he intended any offence.

The only people who laugh at Obama are the fawning leftist sycophants.

Yeah, it's unfortunate Mal had to inherit an economy with a Labor afflicted deficit/debt akin to Nicaragua.

Sort of like the people on the other side who laughed at Abbott's many gaffes like knights and dames and the women of Australia going about their ironing.
