The Greens oppose the CPRS not because it is too weak, but because it will point Australia in the wrong direction with little prospect of turning it around in the timeframe within which emissions must peak, says Senator Christine Milne.
Malcolm Turnbull’s secrets for success
|
Malcolm Turnbull has been a very successful business person, but did he really mean to share some secrets of wealth creation yesterday? Talking to Marius Benson on ABC NewsRadio about the Rudd Government’s target of surplus of 1.5% of GDP, the shadow treasurer said:
Just look at Turnbull’s key comments again:
The Australian economy has delivered growth each and every year since we emerged from the recession of the early nineties. True, the Coalition’s spending helped produce a surplus from that growth, but this isn’t a chicken and egg situation. Economic growth came first. It produced the conditions that have produced surpluses. Who set the economy on the path to deliver growth? Bob Hawke, Paul Keating and Peter Walsh. Turnbull has confirmed Labor’s claim from the election last year: John Howard and Peter Costello simply surfed the wave of a strong economy. |

Are you the same Tony Papafilis who used to work for Premier and Cabinet in WA during Richard Court’s reign? If so, I assume you still work in politics or Public Service. So, come clean. Is this right-wing poison you’re dishing out taxpayer-funded?
The left’s myth about Hawke 80s era is absurd, implying Labor set economy on growth path as if it never grew before. Let’s ingore almost 200 years of Australian economic growth almost all without Labor in charge? Libs are always the better managers.
To Tony P and Curious
Was Pres. Regan L or R.
Genius or his attention to advisors hitched him to ‘new tech’ as America’s future. Knowing money & industry he became a momentary ‘deep’ socialist and set a bank law, 20% of funds to venture capital or else
Dr Tarvydas, I hope you are not brainwashing students into a view of Pres Reagan as a lefty. Or is it some silly attempt to suggest that any good done by Reagan was due to his adoption of the left’s views. Knowing economics, he cut taxes & smashed unions.

The Hawke-Keating myth again. I understand Labor peddling it as its closest they came to looking competent but they weren’t. Labor enjoyed a global boom in 80s & squandered it at state & federal levels of govt. Just as state Labor squandered this boom.
