Picture this scenario: the RBA drops rates a few times, the PM gets his knickers in a twist, sacks the head of the RBA and replaces him with somebody who jacks up rates just to appease the savers. End result? Mass unemployment and deflation. Dodged a loving bullet we did.
quote:Why Glenn Stevens is breathing easier since Tony Abbott got rolled
One of the big winners of Malcolm Turnbull's rise looks to be the Reserve Bank of Australia.
Governor Glenn Stevens has already had three meetings with Turnbull and made himself available in the new prime minister's early days to address both cabinet and this month's mini "reform summit" between business, unions and welfare groups.
Images of Stevens sitting down with freshly-minted Treasurer Scott Morrison - both Protestant church-going residents of Sydney's Sutherland Shire - are symbolic of a broader mood of renewed hope that has accompanied the change of leadership.
At its most basic, the switch to a new team in Canberra, determined to make the pursuit of a positive economic message its raison d'être, meshes nicely with Stevens' often lonely and long-standing "glass half full" approach to the future.
Having cut official interest rates by 275 basis points since late 2011 to a record-low 2 per cent in May, the only real ingredient missing from Stevens' world is the one he can't do much about – confidence.
Tony Abbott failed badly on this front and it was a big part of why he had to go.
Early signs abound that Turnbull and his Treasurer may deliver where Abbott did not. Sentiment has rebounded solidly. Talk to almost any business person and there's both relief and expectation.
For Stevens it's a badly needed reboot that complements his central view, expressed again last month, that Australia's economy has coped remarkably well with the rise and fall of the resources boom – "literally the biggest thing since the gold rush".
"The chances are good that we are going to come out of this – not unscathed, not without a bit of pain – but we are not going to come out of it remotely as badly as we did the previous three or four times we had these things. I think it is an underappreciated success."
Lurking behind Stevens' pleasure at the regime change lies another more important issue, one that goes to the Reserve Bank's future.
Under Abbott there was a real fear the Reserve Bank might suffer the same fate that befell Treasury and its secretary, Martin Parkinson.
Abbott effectively dumped Parkinson in the first days of his prime ministership, overturning decades of convention that prizes institutional succession over cheap short-term politics.
It also had the effect of alienating the new government in its early days from one of the most important assets of high office – a powerful and supportive Treasury.
By pushing out a respected and high-performing secretary, Abbott sent a message that the department's advice wasn't worth listening to; a serious miscalculation.
The whole episode created a perception across the central banking community that Abbott's team was more than capable of "doing a Parkinson" to the Reserve Bank and replacing Stevens when his term expires in September next year with "one of their own".
That fear looks to have been well placed. More than a year ago, a visiting senior team from a major global investment bank was doing the rounds of Australia's economic policy makers – including the Reserve Bank and Treasury, as well as Abbott's office.
What struck the visitors was how openly hostile the PMO was about the Reserve Bank's performance.
The office was particularly angry about the fact that the Australian dollar had rallied back to just shy of US94¢ from US86¢ in early 2014.
Only months earlier the Reserve Bank had embedded in its regular statements language about how interest rates were in for a "period of stability".
Markets took that as a sign that rate cuts were a thing of the past, removing one of the downward forces on the currency.
The stance made sense because of a very genuine concern that more interest rate cuts would further fuel property prices and drive up household debt.
That caution has since been borne out, with a chart published this week by the Reserve Bank showing household debt-to-GDP is around 180 per cent – a staggering level.
Yet the investment bankers were told in no uncertain terms that the Reserve Bank had "f--ked up" its communication and that the government would have to "fix" the institution.
The ham-fisted bluster and aggression that characterised so much of Abbott's two-year prime ministership was being turned on the Reserve Bank, despite it having a global and local reputation as one of the world's out-performing central banks.
With remarkably few missteps, the Reserve Bank has – for well over two decades – helped steer the economy through the 1998 Asian financial crisis, the 2000 dot-com bust, the early 2000s property bubble in Sydney, the 2008 global financial crisis and the severe dislocation caused by the biggest terms-of-trade boom in 150 years.
Throughout the tumult, Australians have enjoyed stable inflation, high employment, unprecedented living standards growth, and most important – life without recession.
Unlike other central banks around the world – most notably the Bank of England, which was subjected to the humiliation of having a foreigner installed as its chief after being seen to have failed its mandate to ensure financial stability in the lead-up to the crisis – there is no case for punishment at the Reserve Bank.
Yet despite that scorecard, Abbott's people were openly telling offshore visitors about the need to put an outsider in charge of the bank – a potentially devastating move that would cast a serious shadow over what is without doubt Australia's most credible economic institution.
That it would potentially occur during the tumult of the 2016 election campaign – rather than be addressed well ahead of next year's September handover – only added to tension within the central bank.
One of Stevens' main objectives during his final years in the job is to manage a succession to the man widely considered the best candidate, his deputy governor, Phil Lowe.
Lauded by many market economists as the finest central banker of his generation, Lowe forewarned by a decade the dangers of overleverage that caused the 2008 meltdown. He is deeply enmeshed into the global central banking community, and earned his PhD at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where staff included Ben Bernanke and Stanley Fischer, now vice-chairman of the US Federal Reserve.
In other words, he has an outstanding pedigree.
Luckily for him, his chances of being sidelined by a "captain's pick" curve ball coming out of Abbott's brain have been hugely reduced.

quote:V8 driver David Reynolds apologises for offensive comment about female team
Supercars boss James Warburton was quick to disown the ‘disgraceful’ remark directed at Bathurst 1000 team of Simona de Silvestro and Renee Gracie
Ford V8 Supercars driver David Reynolds has apologised after being fined $25,000 for making an offensive remark about an all-female team at the Bathurst 1000. V8 Supercars boss James Warburton was quick to disown the “disgraceful” comment directed at Ford duo Simona de Silvestro and Renee Gracie following Thursday’s practice. Former Sauber Formula One test driver De Silvestro and Queensland’s V8 development series star Gracie are the first all-female team at Bathurst since 1998.
Asked about the team, Reynolds said: “Don’t you mean the pussy wagon?”
“Reynolds’ comments were disgraceful and completely unacceptable in our sport and he has been fined $25,000,” Warburton said. “Women are an integral part of our sport, whether they are fans, drivers or team members. “And V8 Supercars will continue to support and promote female participation at all levels of our sport.” Reynolds said he had personally apologised to both drivers. “I unreservedly apologise for a comment I made in a press conference earlier today in relation to my female teammates,” he said in a statement. “While it was intended to be humorous, I understand it has caused offence. “As I stated in the press conference, I genuinely hope they perform well as they are both highly talented, as they showed today with their pace. “We all get on very well and I’ve spent a lot of time with them this week helping them prepare for this race. “People know I am a little left-of-centre with my humour but I understand today I took it too far. “I have personally apologised to Renee and Simona and I fully accept the penalty handed down by V8 Supercars and any subsequent team sanctions.”
The female team were already motivated to silence critics at Mount Panorama after V8 great Dick Johnson claimed they were “a million to one” and had no chance of finishing their first Bathurst 1000. The pair took two seconds off their best time to finish second last in a 26-strong field in the final practice session on Thursday. “Dick Johnson hasn’t finished heaps of races, so he can’t talk,” Gracie said on Wednesday. De Silvestro – one of only three women to notch an IndyCar podium – said before practice it would be good to silence the critics. “I think we will prove them wrong,” she said. In all, 31 women have contested the Bathurst 1000, with a best placing of sixth – Australia’s Christine Gibson (1981) and France’s Marie-Claude Beaumont (1975)
Speaking of toxic, any thought that the new face of terror, Turdball, was going to actually change the direction of the ship rather than just the bunting..

quote:Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull appeals for all Australians to show mutual respect following 'brutal murder' By political reporter Anna Henderson Updated about 9 hours ago
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has delivered a public plea for all Australians to foster a culture of mutual respect, following what he has described as a "brutal murder" and "act of terrorism"(Bullshit Turdball, you don't know that. And it's not like you motivation for declaring it terrorism isn't 100% transparent) in Parramatta. It is a week since 15-year-old gunman Farhad Jabar shot and killed police accountant Curtis Cheng as he was leaving police headquarters in Sydney's west. Police have been preparing for the possibility of unrest and anti Islamic sentiment in the area, after a week spent investigating what triggered the attack.
After days without taking questions from reporters, Mr Turnbull held a media conference in Sydney to deliver a public appeal for unity and respect.
"Respect for each other, respect for our country, respect for our shared values, these are the things that make this country one of the most successful countries in the world, as a multicultural country in particular," he said. Mr Turnbull delivered his strongest assessment yet of why Mr Cheng was shot dead outside the Parramatta police headquarters. "He was murdered in an act of terrorism by a 15-year-old boy, motivated we believe by extremists' political and religious views," Mr Turnbull said. (In turdball we trust. ffs. Give me a break. And obviously those 'extremist' views are coming out of a mosque near you!).
The Prime Minister warned anyone preaching (What if it wasn't a preacher?) hatred or extremism is undermining the success of the nation(And it is in no way extreme to torture, rape and kill people in your care, good to know). "It is not compulsory to live in Australia, if you find Australian values are, you know, unpalatable, then there's a big wide world out there and people have got freedom of movement," Mr Turnbull said. "Those who seek to gnaw away at that social fabric are not part of the Australian dream, they are not advancing the interests of our great country. Australia, my friends, has the greatest future ahead of it. So if we want to be respected, if we want our faith(<-SCCCCRRREEEEEEEE *dogwhistle*), our cultural background to be respected, then we have to respect others. That is a fundamental part of the Australian project. Not all extremist talk — intolerant, hateful speech — not all of it leads to violence. But it's where all violence begins. And we have to call it out(What like Chris Kenny and Andrew Bolt?).We have to call out the language, the examples of disrespect, the language of hatred wherever it is practised."
His comments come after Parramatta Mosque chairman Neil El-Kadomi told worshippers, "if you don't like Australia, leave".
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten echoed the same sentiment on Friday, saying: "If you really hate Australia, well then you should go".
Mr Turnbull has again spoken to the family of Mr Cheng, this time to pass on the condolences of British prime minister David Cameron following a phone call on Thursday night. Last weekend Mr Turnbull held a phone conference with Muslim groups but he has now travelled to Western Sydney to talk directly to Islamic representatives about conditions in the lead-up to the shooting. He said the face-to-face meeting helped coordinate the continuing political and community led response to the killing. Australia's police and security agencies will hold discussions next week about what else can be done to tackle extremism and whether any current policies need changing. The talks will be led by Federal Government counter-terrorism coordinator Greg Moriarty and its recommendations will be considered by the Prime Minister and state and territory leaders at the next session of the Council of Australian Governments.
Welll yes Turdball I do find ' Australian values are, you know, unpalatable' so do a bunch of other people but I also think that minority views should be respected and even nurtured. What an utterly crystal clear call for homogeneity and the marginalisation of minorities. Good loving job. This is actively creating the next round of 'radicals', but that's no a problem as far as you and your painted wagon of right wing nut jobs are concerned.

Didn't say it was. I blamed sport culture. A thing that is adopted by a bunch of people who have never participated in anything like sport and go to things like sport bars. You know a sport bar is a little like a pussy wagon.
Non-sports bars being renowned as havens of progressive thought.

I hate when they act like they had NO IDEA they were being offensive. Take another $25k to think about it, jerk.
Speaking of offensive jerks, some people apparently take great offence if you suggest that most people don't know what they're talking about with radicalization and perhaps we should wait for the experts before deciding who to blame. I had a bizarre twitter conversation last night with @prestontowers who accused me of attacking him because I prefer waiting for the coroner over screaming TERRORIST and blaming shadowy cowards. I think he was drunk and a bit sensitive for unknown reasons.
Today he told me to refer to Greg Barton because he was a better expert. Barton is the talking head wheeled out on the tv whenever people pretend they want to know about radicalization (he's Professor of Chair in Global Islamic Politics at Deakin University having moved up the ladder from studying Indonesian politics), but unfortunately he doesn't have a Twitter handle that I could find so I can't ask him whether prejudging terrorism is a good idea in this case. I mean, what with everyone screaming terrorism and the effect that might have on, say, impressionable depressed teenagers. Like saying 8 year olds could be suicide bombers.
