Will Albanese walk in the footsteps of Whitlam? : Comments
By Graham Young, published 1/3/2023So all the conditions for stagflation - rapidly increasing government expenditure, skyrocketing energy prices, an inflexible economy, and low productivity growth - are in place as they were for Whitlam, coupled with similarly ambitious social policies.

After murdering 523 and mentally and physically injuring thousands of other young Australians because of Vietnam, do you think we should praise the sycophantic Coalition government of the pathetic McMahon for agreeing to follow the Americans out of that sh!t hole with our tails between our legs, a sh!t hole they helped create. It was Whitlam who brought them home, not McMahon. Posted by Paul1405, Thursday, 2 March 2023 10:55:30 PM

indyvidual,
You've missed the point. Anthony Albanese's style is connected to his mentality. And as I stated - he does listen to advisers and is inclusive. He's not a one man show. He's a team. And in the short time that his government has been in power he's done a good job. The problems that he is facing at present are not of his making. They're world wide problems.Yet Australia is doing well. Posted by Foxy, Friday, 3 March 2023 5:51:08 AM

Foxy, Isn't that what gets everything into a mess every time ? People who know are never being consulted ! Posted by Indyvidual, Friday, 3 March 2023 7:54:02 AM

Rhian,
I suggest you take a closer look at http://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/economy/business-indicators/business-indicators-australia/latest-release#data-downloads as it clearly shows the opposite of what you were claiming: the large increase in profits is not just in the mining industry, but in almost every industry. There is of course no doubt that the Ukraine war was the primary cause of inflation last year, but it doesn't explain why inflation is still so high. ________________________________________________________________________________ Hasbeen, The cost of energy was certainly driving inflation last year, but your blaming solar and wind indicates you're a bigot: you foolishly ignore all the evidence and instead resort to the outdated stereotype that wind and solar are expensive and therefore they, not the skyrocketing gas prices, must be to blame! What will it take for you to overcome your bigotry and return to reality? Posted by Aidan, Friday, 3 March 2023 11:05:15 AM

Do try to wake up Aidan.
The cost of power is highest in every country that invest more in wind & solar than any other. Germany & Great Britain followed by the low countries have the most expensive power anywhere other than California, also heavily invested in the rubbish renewables. If there are bigots in this discussion it is those who have foolishly swallowed the renewables scam, to actually believe in the foolishness. Of course there are those wind advocates who have invested in the scam, & are making a fortune in tax payer handouts from complicit governments. Where are you.

of Whitlam's or Bob Hawke's.
Foxy,
Style doesn't affect policies, mentality does ! Some pretty woeful examples for the past few Federal Governments !
