WORLD’S WHITEST WOMAN

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..
Bring back Keating and Hawke, or Labor are gone.
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.
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.
Most of whose policies he has adopted, the political heavy lifting having been done by his predecessor.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.I see Fairfax are starting to crank up the anti Turnbull press.

Microphones picked up Mr Obama, seated next to Mr Turnbull, asking about who he was meeting at the conference.
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?"
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."
It looks like the only return Barack Obama had to Malcolm's response was to essentially be rude.
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.
Exactly what I thought.I took Obama's remark to be a tongue in cheek reference to the Rugby World Cup result.

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.
