Another man in the same group agreed enthusiastically. And they were blokes inclined to vote Labor.
This is a powerful conclusion. First because it contradicts the conventional wisdom that Labor's policies were too aggressively redistributive. Or, in Mathias Cormann put it, too socialist. The election was "a clear rejection of Labor’s class warfare rhetoric and their high taxing policies", he said.
The statistician this week reported that Australia's economy had its weakest year in a decade in the year to June 30. And while headline growth of 1.4 per cent was still positive, "all the growth can be explained by population growth", remarks the independent economist Saul Eslake. On the contrary. He sounded like he'd added a new ministerial responsibility to his job – the Minister for Excuses. Or like your kid who brings home a dud report card. Excuse No. 1: "The Australian economy is growing. It's growing." Otherwise known as "lots of kids wag and at least I turned up for school."
"And it's over $100 billion over the next 10 years. And we've been working with the Premier and other premiers around the country ... Now, we are really starting to hit our head on the ceiling in terms of how much infrastructure work you can get underway at any one time. And that’s actually putting some cost pressures into the system."
He may be the man who's been cutting interest rates, but there's a limit to what that can achieve, especially as they head relentlessly towards zero.Lowe tells me that it's not that the Reserve Bank's two recent cuts to interest rates are not working: "I wouldn't say what we're doing isn't working. It's just not as effective as it could be if we had some help. And the main help we need is structural reform.
Nah. Still banging the same rubbish. Chalmers still a commo wanting to tax Australians more so that he can sit on the hill and hand it out like Father Christmas without conscious thought of consequence
You’re kidding aren’t you ? AlboMP can’t even get the domestic violence offender & grub Setka out of the party. Alba’s got nothing. No policies. Just spoke 24/7.
he won because the ALP wants to take from the rich and give to the poor ... thus wrecking the economy and basically just applying lipstick to a pig.
Albanese has so far done nothing to make it even appear he knows what he is doing. Actually he has done absolutely nothing. I had forgotten he was even labor leader until he shot himself in the foot jumping on the wrong team over deportation of illegal immigrants.
Labour are just a lite version of liberals but with less experience in private sector and no idea of what they stand for. All that union money wasted for no representation.
Australians are idiots that’s why they vote for other idiots, most Australians are very badly educated (49 th in the world)..so of course they identify with other idiots.Rudd was the last intelligent leader we had but not bright enough to suck up to the Israel lobby so ..sacked.
Slow news day or is it trying to lift AlboMP off the floor?
'Those who swung to Labor did so because of their policies; those who left Labor did so because of Bill Shorten,'. These guys have learnt nothing. Doomed to failure.
😂 lefty’s writing opinion pieces
Labour lost because PUP won enough preferences by saturating social media close to the election. People weren’t given the correct information by the MSM because they were too busy gushing over news polls and bitching about Shortens personality. Media need to own this mess.
Part of the problem is MSM painting this as a popularity contest. Educate on policy. Government should be educating on why their policy is best for everyone, not providing sound bites to the media. MSM lap up the BS and quote verbatim and call it “journalism”. It’s exhausting.
Yep why nothing wrong with Morrison soughting out the families mental problems with the taxpayers money ..... as he said him and Jen have mental problems on live interview
They only have one Clive Palmer that used his workers payout money
Shows the mess they left for Labor and they won the mess back .... and they cannot handle the mess the Economics has always been beyond them ... all thats left for them is cover a lie with a lie
No, Morrison ‘got put’ Cambridge Analytica style; under State capture. A type of systemic political corruption in which private interests significantly influence a state's decision-making processes to their own advantage through unobvious channels, that may not be illegal.
Two years from now Australians will view SCUMO the same way that Americans will view TRUMP next year A FINANCIAL DISASTER of monumental proportions
Albo is definitely not in any universe I can identify
Murdoch is a 24/7 lib re-election advertisement. Palmer threw $60 million at getting Labor to lose. Alan Jones contradicted himself and shut up about all those bad lib policies in order to make them look perfect during election time. But Peter blames Bill?
...in a parallel, very similar universe maybe
No, only if they change their policies from fringe issues like climate emergencies and wanting to give women jobs simple because they have a vagina.
Yes, you are right Albo is in a different universe. A parallel universe!
Albanese caters for the era of 1950. The Slurpee uneducated knockabout pie eating garbage bin wicket player dies not represent modern Australia When are they ever going to learn
I always hated Shorten, so am inclined to agree
Is he though...?
I think Albanese is good for at least one election loss,
Wow, how deluded! Albo hasn’t got a snowflake’s chance in hell. I, like most of the 25+m Aussies hate scomo with a passion but AlboMP is already dead in the water (sadly). auspol
Yeah, no.
Labor caucus were foolish and arrogant in the 2013 leadership ballot to back someone other than who the members voted for. Not to mention installing the guy who was pivotal to the 2010 coup that started a decade of leadership instability in Australian politics.
Albanese is as big a soy panderer as Chloe Shorten’s husband, sadly Labor replaced like with like
🤣Fake News SMH attempts to brainwash it's readers that Albo/Labor are a threat 😂🤣😂🤣
But you wankers told us AustralianLabor was a lay down misère. Wrong then. Wrong now. Thank fk Nothing depends on your predictions.
really?
And they are stuck because they said No to a lot of economic reform during the election. The thing about going to the election with that is if you do bring something then it looks like they were lying and the opposition will use that.
But he’s still got Kristina Keneally 😉
