Bazz a big part of the problem is political, to shut down initiatives that are aiding change for the better.
This govt is anti change ; and is stifling change to support his coal burning mates.
With that sort of mindset, how is any alternate means going to feel secure.
This lot have done their best to back-down on programs and manufacturing, creating unemployment unseen for 12 years.
We have now been set back years, all for the worse.

Federal government departments are spending eye-watering sums to know what the public is thinking and what the media is saying about them, new documents show.

In some of the more surprising disclosures, the Department of Defence is spending more than $500,000 a year on pay TV and, between July and October 2014, splashed $454,125 - or about $5000 a day, on newspapers, magazines and other publications. Another department also spent nearly $90,000 on books over four months.
We continue to monitor all departmental expenditure and will impose further cuts and further efficiencies in administrative expenditure where and as appropriate

A Fairfax Media analysis of the documents also shows seven departments splashed a combined $1.2 million on "market research" - in many cases focus groups and polling - in just four months. Dozens of government agencies are yet to respond to formal requests to reveal how much they also spent, suggesting the total bill is likely to be far higher.
For example, the Department of Defence refused to disclose how much it spent in market research between July and October but the bill for 2013/14 came in at $2.2 million.

579, you seem unaware of the massive waste the labour government
instituted. You should not believe everything you are told.

All that however is by the by, what we have is a government and
opposition that is dedicated to business as usual growth when the
future is different.
None of the cuts and projects are relevant. When the oil price rises
later this year or early 2016 there will be more economic problems for
the politicians to worry about.

Stop posting on Abbott Abbott Abbott and start posting on ways to
redirect out efforts towards a new economy fueled by a new energy regime.

What you say is impossible, simply because we are blessed with the Credlin Abbott govt; We can’t live in the past we are doomed to live in the present, and that is a tough ask. A govt; that is redicalised to the point of stupidity. So any talk of future developments will not occur while this regime is in power.

Senator Abetz said the Government is working to "reboot the economy" to provide opportunities for young Australians, listing Work for the Dole and several training and relocation grants as practical ways the government was attempting to get young people into work.

Mr Abbott has promised repeatedly not to change penalty rates but has asked the Productivity Commission review to examine Australia's industrial relations laws and report back in November 2015.
Mr Reith accused Mr Abbott of having "sat on" the commission, which he said was obviously a ploy to put off the decision-making until the last moment.

Mr Abbott, as opposition leader, said on election-eve that there would be "no change to the GST" in his infamous interview with the SBS. In the same interview he also pledged there would be no cuts to the ABC – a promise he admits he has broken.

But since then, the Prime Minister has said the GST will be examined in the taxation and federation white papers, which are both due before the 2016 election
This govt; was hand tied right from day one

Poirot was once the labour party computer.
Now you have earned the Turing prize.

One of the federal government's most prominent climate-change deniers has billed taxpayers for a series of books that argues global warming is a hoax.

MPs are allowed to buy publications including books, journals, magazines and newspapers as part of their taxpayer-funded allowances.

Queensland National MP George Christensen's latest expenses filed with the Finance Department show that he bought three books on climate-change denialism

Abbott on a secret mission o Iraqu and no doubt will come back and tell a bagfull of lies again. With no media allowed he could say anything and tell us something different again.
Is this Abbott’s open govt; Secretive and underhanded.
