Interesting read.
Seems the days of the Minerals Council Australia and the Australian newspaper being able to roll PMs are long past.

I can't quite decide if he sounds more like Homer Simpson or Abe Simpson.
It is time to seriously consider the possibility that this failed president doesn't even know what the term "vetting" means

If something is "permanently paused", it ain't paused, it's ended.

Another day, another round of saturation coverage of an opposition partys internal struggle over a policy they'll never get to implement.
At least #ABCNews is pointing out some of the holes in the policy.
Anyway, what's the government doing atm?

NSW Police go out of their way to approve a Neo Nazi rally — then Premier Minns uses the “stuff up” as an excuse for *more* laws restricting free speech. The whole thing stinks of a blatantly obvious stitch-up by vested interests. Pathetic.

Watching financial markets right now and I'm getting flashbacks to the run up to the GFC.
Everyone knew it was coming but thought they could grab a seat before the music stopped.

1. Take all these reports seriously and investigate.
2. But if there's follow up news, please report the outcomes, as Dr Weatherburn suggested (back in 2009).
I'll repeat, take all these reports seriously and investigate, in case anyone missed point 1.
