No article that includes a stupid term like 'chattering classes' deserves to be taken seriously. If you have an argument, present it and don't demean yourself with cheap denigration. What you are basically saying is that people who don't agree with you have no right to think about or discuss things. Grow up.

one under god,

I’m not exactly sure what you mean by, ‘they plasticised her by lies about how god she is by lying about her abilities ,massaging her figures ,reclassifying her children into them and us [good and bad][2 hours work is fulltime employment,lol.]”, but, if you mean the previous government changed the definition of unemployment, you are wrong. It is set by the ABS in accordance with international standards and has not changed since 1960. Here is the ABS account of unemployment measures: http://www.aph.gov.au/library/pubs/RN/2006-07/07rn18.pd

dear chris
your link dosnt work
its typical

you may recall how hard passed legislation allowing public servants to lie[copied by state govts]
even if the site were available[if its govt howhards legislation still ensures its govt spin[thus protected from court or even freedom of information dislosure

our leaders are too clever by half, the media too accepting, the market synconised on the numbers has been ruled by the numbers [but guess what govt numbers LIE[even when their links do work]

What baffles me is the fact that Kevin Rudd continually talks the economy down.On one hand he hands out money like there's no tomorrow,and then tell us how bad things will get next year.

These conflicting signals are not the sign of a good economic manager.Just bailing out our failed State Labor Govts is not good enough.They must be all held accountable

who is they arjay?

they were held accountable because they wernt responsable

[thats how we got rudd[the good guy/bad guy play] how-ard sells off [gives away the family silver] gives us contracted wages , gives us gst then rudd comes along and gives us carbon tax then the economy collapses and turn bull returns

its the two party elitist p-lay
we pay for their play
[we get screwed no matter which hand we chose]

but hey what else you expect from a demon-autocracy run by the self same selfish selfserving elites that des;poiled gods creation[and are despoiling mans monetary/credit system[returning us into homeless wage slaves, as the elites govern over their franchised fiefdoms , to yet further rule over the worker rabble controlled by threats , media fed fears and punatuive policed patROTism

we are spirits having an in-car-nate experience
and this is satans realm

[but go spend your little cash on baubles [even now] but better todays bying value than tomorrows [;as soon hyperinflation looms] [because we turned gods creation into paper] and plastised baubles and fiat based debt

Well all I can tell you all is having been in small business for almost 20 years I fear we are about to see the wheels fall off once again with the power once again being handed to the unions.

And belly, before you go shooting me down, it's the un-skilled labourer earning their $35 per hour that has contributed to this credit crisis.

Many of these people were lucky to hold a job 10 years ago, never loan bring home a grand a week plus and how many of them have put their spoils to good use by investing in a house. Very few, that's how many. All they have done is fueled this ecconomy to unrealistic levels with their disposable incomes but that is all about to change.

The last thing we need is for someone to tell us who we can and can't employ again.

WATCH AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS is all I will say.

As for kyoto, what a joke. We are already anti competative and this will simply be the last nail in the coffin.

Hard to have a level playing field when not all players are in the game hey!
