Hockey made some interesting comments about bank margins, super profits and a social compact. His accusations about the Government, deadlines and intervention were a bit silly though. Liberal parliamentary secretary Don Randall was confused and: Swan was hypocritical and attempted some...

http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/10/16/3040170.htm I think this is a good development, and should be done with most families with children, as they are unlikely to be a security risk. They can still be monitored when released into the community, and they could even run a type of parole...

A classic on Lateline tonight: Leigh Sales: "Tony Abbott said this week that there was room for a kinder, gentler kind of politics. We've heard that before of course and things haven't changed. Should things change after this election result and will they?" Andrew Robb: "Leigh, firstly I...

http://www.smh.com.au/opinion/poor-mans-howard-moving-backwards-to-the-future-20100808-11qal.html Interesting approach. I find it disturbing.

Which would you prefer? Winning $1000 or your team winning the flag? Does your answer change if the amount you win increases? By how much does it need to increase? Conversely does it change if it decreases? By how much does it need to decrease? Does your answer change depending upon your...

Another example of atrocious overumpiring in the Swans v. Hawks game. Free kick against Goodes, who shakes his finger pretty innocuously to the umpire - 50m. What a joke!

... according to Abbott. What a complete and utter tosser. http://www.smh.com.au/federal-election/echoes-of-howard-as-abbott-makes-rates-guarantee-20100718-10fnu.html?autostart=1 Looks like yet another election of mindless sound bites delivered by mindless dolts.

is the new catchcry to replace "working families". Twenty-one times in eleven minutes in Gillard's speech to announce the election date. Reminds me of... My fellow Americans, as a young boy I dreamed of being a baseball. But tonight I say we must move forward, not backward! Upward, not...

Only 3 years for this?

That the ALP State Government in Victoria is pursuing its own agenda on planning with no regard for community views has been quite apparent for many years, as they override council opinions and approve all sorts of unsuitable developments, or prevent ones they don't like. Now, there is evidence...

http://www.theage.com.au/national/docklands-booze-barn-gets-the-nod-20091027-hj1f.html Do the ministers not talk to each other? On one hand they are talking about problems with alcohol-fuelled violence in the CBD and on the other they are approving a 'booze barn' against the wishes of the...

Something I've been complaining about for a few years (and a few ex players have too) is this relatively recent phenomenon of players kicking the ball along the ground, instead of in the air, when taking a shot at goals. So many do it now. Who coaches them to do that? It makes little sense...

Is anyone doing anything interesting at uni like archaeology, fine arts, art history, philosophy, history, classics, languages, heritage, political science, English Lit, etc?

Some interesting articles in The Age today about the need for ensuring control of markets, the problems with trying to give everything a profit motive, and how to control remuneration. http://www.theage.com.au/opinion/the-perils-of-trading-in-extremes-20090908-ffye.html...

Besides the massive increase in population, when people commit crimes they received virtually no punishment. http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,25868530-661,00.html http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,25868519-662,00.html

http://www.theage.com.au/national/uni-history-school-staff-face-the-axe-20090720-dqtg.html I'm sure there will be some who will waffle on about free market and everything paying its way. But, what sort of people are we when we can no longer teach intellectual thought - such as history and...

What is wrong with Australian universities? Why do they have an over-representation of subjects on gender, sexuality and women's studies, or even more weird esoteric topics, compared to universities in other countries? I can count the number of history subjects covering the periods from the...

http://www.businessspectator.com.au/bs.nsf/Article/House-rules-pd20090529-SGSL7?OpenDocument&src=kgb This can't continue. It's not a sensible economic outcome, it is of no benefit for householders, and must be setting us up for a bigger fall in the future.

The Government needs to clear up the process whereby people can take money from their superannuation savings, especially in cases of hardship. I know of someone in dire straits who is not able to access their superannuation and will be on the street unless someone intervenes to support him...

Don't worry - I fixed it!

http://www.theage.com.au/environment/brumby-told-to-halt-the-sprawl-20081204-6rp0.html We need to: - stop building roads and start improving public transport - stop building McMansions (but that doesn't mean everyone has to cram into high density living - there is a middle ground) - look at...

Interesting to see a couple of comments from Turnbull that suggest that he is playing the clever (and necessary) political game of beginning to shift the Liberal party back to the centre. When Hawke and Keating moved the ALP to the centre ground, the Liberals struggled to find their own...
