Could somebody please inform Queensland about how catastrophic the mining and carbon taxes are going to be for the coal industry? They might want to redo their budget as the industry’s modelling suggests that the carbon tax is going to result in mine closures.
Somebody’s not right.

In the fight to the death that preventing the ETS has become, Tony is now in the awkward position of essentially having to deny that the market is the best way to effect human behavioural change, which is a tricky sell when you’re trying to position your party as the superior economic manager.
It’s a bit disappointing, as an argument on the detail of how the carbon tax/ETS is going to be structured might actually yield some good ideas and be quite useful to the future of the country.
I look forward to seeing if Malcolm Turnbull manages to get through this one without his head exploding.

Coming up to the first anniversary of  Julia’s giving Kevin the Julius Caesar treatment, she must occasionally look back wistfully on those halcyon, uncomplicated days when she was only leader of the country when Kevin was overseas. Personally, I am shocked and frankly disappointed that Tony hasn’t pointed out that bovine farting will always be higher under Labor yet.

Sure, it’s probably “both” but I was going for more of a “sound of one hand clapping” vibe if you follow me…

Parochialism, pork barreling, cargo cult accounting, and now, just when the state government can’t scrape up the money to invest in the North Melbourne deal which is apparently going to inject a hundred gazintybajillion dollars into Hobart’s economy (give or take – this is Tascounting we’re talking about after all) up pops TT-Line, which, if you do your absolute best to ignore the fact that it is owned by the, er, government, leaves the Tassie Hawks as a pack of layabout bludgers sucking off the public teat.
Typical northerners.
Too good, though you really have to be a local to appreciate it.
