Talking about the Sahara?

To paraphrase economist Milton Friedman:

"If you put the Coalition government in charge of
the Sahara Desert in five years they'd be a shortage of
sand."

Talking about coal?

The Coalition realizes that coal is bad for the environment.
That's why they continue to just burn it off.

Treasure Chalmers, at least, has admitted that immigration is no substitute for training. Well said. But, we need to have the training underway now, replacing all the useless courses, leading nowhere, promoted by universities just to get money from taxpayers, which will never be repaid by 'students' with bits of paper that will never get them a job that will pay them enough to repay their loans,

Victorians will be heading for the polls shortly.
The results should prove interesting because today
we have even more division between parties.

However it remains
true, that in a time of disillusionment and distrust of
politicians our state governments provide electoral
choice, checks on federal government's power, and a large
array of services that many Australians think state governments
should provide.

I predict that the Andrews government will be re-elected.

"It will be something far worse: a Labor government seeking cover to re-regulate the labour market, empower trade unions and strip away the elasticity in the economy. The presence of business representatives at the summit is merely a gloss. Unless business leaders want to be seen as complicit in Anthony Albanese’s regressive agenda, they must be ready to walk away from the pre-prepared closing declarations.

Hope that Albanese would emulate Bob Hawke in anything other than beer-skolling died when he named Burke Employment Minister. Where Hawke encouraged individual businesses to strike local workplace deals, Burke wants to restore the one-size-fits-all approach where wages and conditions are decided across sectors. Where Hawke increased competition, Burke will reduce it by making it harder for small and medium businesses to survive.

Where Hawke worked with union and business leaders to link wages to productivity, Burke has no concern for such economic niceties. Burke thinks wages should be raised by regulation enforced by the FWC. He wants to change the industrial relations system to give unions greater bargaining power and crack down on a heinous crime he calls “wage theft”."

I predict the Andrews government will be re-elected
in Victoria and also that the Labor Jobs and Skills
Summit will produce some great results.

Putin's government is also likely to be re-elected. Nearly as corrupt as Dan Andrews government.
