Surely Leyonhjelm could ask for more than overturning the import ban on the Adler. I'd assume it'd just be banned again as soon as the ABCC legislation gets through anyway, they wouldn't need his support to do that.

New $83k luggage lift installed at The Lodge so bags don't have to be carried up stairs Malcolm Turnbull and all future prime ministers can now avoid hauling their political baggage up and down the "pretty precarious" staircase at the official Canberra residence, The Lodge. ... The lift forms part of the $11.6 million overhaul of The Lodge which took almost three years to complete, after starting with a budget of just over $3 million. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-10-17/the-lodge-receives-special-luggage-lift/7938726

tithin posted:Can someone post this article Phoneposting. Remember Labor's 'debt and deficit disaster'? The Coalition's is infinitely worse Alan Austin Economics reporter Friday night’s news arrived much sooner than anyone expected. Posted downpage on a Treasury website was the news Australia’s gross debt was now above $450 billion. Another Finance Department document released quietly that night showed net debt had smashed through the $300 billion barrier. Both have been met with deafening media silence. These confirm the Turnbull government has lost control of Australia’s revenue, deficit and debt. Or at least, that’s what the news means to those who understand it. Recent sudden surge In less than four months this financial year, the gross debt blow-out has been more than $30 billion. That’s more than $8 billion per month. In comparison, the Rudd government’s borrowings from 2007 to 2010 to deal with the onset of the global financial crisis averaged only $2.79 billion per month. The Gillard administration also borrowed to manage a smooth recovery from the GFC. Its monthly average was $3.42 billion overall, but down to $1.19 billion over its last six months. Despite solemn promises to reduce debt, the Abbott government’s borrowings rocketed after the 2013 election, averaging $4.85 billion per month until both the PM and his hapless treasurer Joe Hockey were ejected. The central reason for Turnbull’s leadership challenge was that Abbott “has not been capable of providing the economic leadership our nation needs”. The dismal data Gross debt is now $450.79 billion. This is $173.4 billion higher than the $277.4 billion Labor left in September 2013 — up 62.5%. Net debt was $312.3 billion at the end of August. This is $137.7 billion above Labor’s $174.6 billion legacy — up 78.9%. Interest bill doubled Taxpayers paid $1.26 billion in net interest in July and again in August, or $40.7 million per day. It will be higher henceforward. In its last financial year, 2012-13, Labor paid $8.28 billion. The Coalition paid $12.0 billion in the year just ended, an increase of 45.3%. Budgeted interest expense for this financial year is $16.64 billion, more than double Labor’s last full-year bill. Global comparisons Looking abroad, most well-managed economies are steadily reducing their debt. Only 11 of the 34 wealthy members of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) have increased debt in each of the last three years. Of these, only five have expanded it by more than 5.5% since 2013: Finland, Japan, Mexico, Slovenia and Australia. Outside the OECD, the Philippines, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Libya and several others are steadily reducing debt and interest payments as the global recovery gathers pace. Which brings us to the craven hypocrisy of Australia’s mainstream media. Media silence Throughout Labor’s term, significant debt milestones were emblazoned across the front pages. Labor’s “debt and deficit disaster” and “debt spiralling out of control” were recurrent and dominant stories. Sydney’s Daily Telegraph ran an attack in 2013 headed “The Labor Party’s debt timebomb” with former treasurer Peter Costello “forcing this debate into the public forum”. The Herald Sun headed a shock horror editorial “Labor’s debt bomb”. The 2013 pre-Christmas fiscal outlook, it claimed, gave Australians “a shocking insight into the state of the national economy. The news is not good. It’s terrible.” Gross debt then was only $296 billion. But, still, “the massive debt Australia now faces is due, absolutely, to Labor’s financial mismanagement”. And on they went, in The Courier-Mail, the Australian Financial Review, the ABC, online outlets and virtually everywhere else. Curiously, no screaming headlines today, no calls for public debate and no hint that this might be a shocking insight into anything. Final comment It is quite acceptable for most countries, including Australia, to have some gross borrowings. Even Norway, with its net surplus above 188% of GDP, carries some gross debt. Some net debt is also acceptable. But condemning one administration when debt reaches $250 billion during the worst recession in 80 years, but ignoring another notching up $450 billion during the global recovery is not acceptable.

There's no way the Nauruan government wrote that. It came straight from the immigration department. It's also dumb as poo poo. Nauruan schools aren't good enough for Nauruan children. I mean their own statement on literacy from their census report is full of errors. http://www.spc.int/nmdi/nmdi_documents/2011_NAURU_CENSUS_REPORT.pdf

They want to appear bi-partisan. So not only do they choose a representative audience, they also choose questions which are representative of the talking points and semiotics used by the parties. The show is designed to be at this level of garbage.

Our budget has a structural deficit as a result of the Howard cuts. The reason we don't hear about it is because someone, at some point, is going to have to raise taxes. Or address the generous negative gearing/capital gains/superannuation etc concessions. Sure as gently caress won't be a Liberal government.

Q: Could you perhaps explain to people who don’t own guns why one would need a shotgun that can carry 10 bullets instead of five? What is the practical purpose? A: I am a libertarian and I don’t answer questions like that. My response to that is, why shouldn’t they have a shotgun that carries more than five rounds?

I'm amazed they don't just amend the law so that lever actions are treated the same way as pump actions. Labor would presumably support it and gun rights aren't a vote winner in this country anyway.

They've already reneged on the deal to lift the import ban. If they're willing to do that I can't see how tightening up the law so this doesn't have to be done in an ad hoc way everytime a new gun comes on the market would make it any worse. [EDIT: Apparently they are going to reclassify it. Mr Turnbull accused the Opposition of creating a distraction from the Government's industrial relations reforms. He said the ban would remain in place until such time as there was a satisfactory reclassification of these guns by the COAG committee.] open24hours fucked around with this message at 05:13 on Oct 18, 2016 |
