saw Joe Hockey on the ALPBC tonight and no hard how the interviewer tried to turn the issue into something about the Liberals, like all the current day lefties, she couldn't get any traction and was reduced to attacking Malcolm Turnbull's divisiveness ... which is yesterdays argument.

Joe was truely right when he spoke of the outrage in the community.

It is huge.

Labor's brand is a mess everywhere and won't recover by changing leaders.

Watch for the Greens vote plummet everywhere as well.

Julia didn't really break her election promise. The carbon tax is not being introduced by a government she leads; it is being introduced by a government led by Bob Brown.

As the only demand on you to join a political party, seems to be "Promise to agree to accept the decisions of the majority", I can't accept that those people who do join, have any integrity and little intelligence. By the demand of the Electoral commission, everybody or if a party, has to have a constitution. The dependable parties demand that you sign that you will honour and obey their constitution. None of the parties demand that, they have no integrity, and little intelligence, and this is shown by the decisions they make in parliament. That old saying is still apparent, "If a politicans mouth is moving, he/she is lying.

What I gain from your article, Malcolm is this.
You disagree with economists that the governments spending during the GFC innoculated Australia from the GFCs effects.
You Have forgotten that the term "Un-Australian" became widely used under Howard.
You do not understand the difference between a project being technically successful and it's financial success (You don't need the latter for the former to succeed).
You did not read the EIU report correctly or have misunderstood it (Report differentiated between public and private money and assigned a good Vs. bad to each).
You have not been watching question time for the last few days (moral outrage from Abbott reaching pantomime proportions)

Really I could just swap the party names in this article and it would be just as (in)acurate.

Flo, admittedly, Our Governments were probably a lot more honest and more concerned about the economy earlier then they have been during the last forty years. Ben Chifley was a good treasurer, and has been the best Prime Minister, but also, Harold Holt has also been a great treasurer and Prime Minister. His trouble was the power of Robert Menzies, who, when his government was hounded by the papers because one of his ministers apparently was retrieving abandoned tractors and graders from the war zones, islands and jungles, for his own use. Menzies said “We must do something to stop this odour pervading parliament”. His “something”, was to increase the salaries of Parliamentarians, Senior Public Servants and Judges, “To make it unnecessary for them to seek other sources of income”. I believe that Harold Holt's increase of the top tax to 66.6% was right, it put stop on excessive incomes and lowered the costs of goods and services, but the economy was starting to be affected by the exports of the coal, and later by that of our other non renewable, non value added resources, a problem that is now affecting our economy and local manufacturing industries. I can't see Tony or any of our other politicians doing anything to improve on the affects of Ben Chifley or Harold Holt, they haven't got either the integrity or the intelligence.
