Over the weekend the Liberal Party launched their campaign and Kevin Rudd denied Julia Gillard had a mandate to introduces the carbon tax. Let start with Kevin Rudd. So there he was on Insiders, and...
Wages Breakout (or lack thereof) Graphs 26 Aug 2013 | 09:29 am
My Guardian Post today is on the wages breakout claims by Eric Abetz. I’m putting some graphs here because they couldn’t all fit in the post.
Election 2013: Day 19 (or, the litmus test) 24 Aug 2013 | 10:33 am
A very quick blog post today because last night I was moderating the Our Say Forum for candidate in the seat of Fraser and so didn’t have time to write a post yesterday, and today is Saturday so I pre...

Election 2013: Day 15 (or, throwing the costings out with the bath water) 19 Aug 2013 | 06:27 pm
So the big splash for the Libs in the friendly Sunday papers was all about babies. Well no, but that was the way it was spun. It was actually about Abbott’s 3 year old paid parental leave scheme. You ...
Election 2013: Day 12 (or, this sewer has no bottom) 16 Aug 2013 | 05:07 pm
Today was not a good day to be an Australian voter. We were treated today as though we are a bunch of racists. People like to say that voters are to blame for the asylum seeker policies. I don’t thin...
Election 2013: Day 11 (or, my thought bubble is more concrete than yours) 15 Aug 2013 | 05:09 pm
And so today Kevin Rudd hoped on a plane and went north with a plan. He was the man with a plan. And being a man with a plan in a plane heading north is a good thing. Unfortunately it seems the plan ...
