Colin Barnett again denies there's a chance of a leadership challenge against him. Why do these rumours always crop up when the government loses ground in the polls and then immediately go away? Is there ever any credibility to them, or are news outlets just giving a voice to politicians grumbling about each other?

Colin specifically didnt want the job, but had to be coaxed back because the cupboard of LNP talent is especially bare in WA. The biggest land developer piped up a few months ago and started spreading rumors that Nalder was going to challenge, and then there was a vote where noone put forward their name and it all fizzled out fairly quickly.

Sorry, i dont huff enough aerosol with the Fetal Alcohol Toy Krew or whatevdr That's a dumb name for a tagging crew if you call it 'fetal alcohol toy squad' it spells 'FATS' which is a sicker and more stylish monkier to put up all over a primary school IMO

The people voted and they elected saviour and patriot Pauline Hanson into the senate. This surprise comes as no shock as the silent majority is sick and tired of political correctness being shoved down their throats by the leftist establishment. We all know it was only a matter of time before the right was going to rise in this country as a result of a backlash against the establishment and they certainly have done a good job of it. It's astonishing we are seeing the right rise right across the western world with the bre exit, Popularity of Donald Trump. Le Penn, Gert Wilders people want change. But back to Australia and the political left seriously needs to do some reshuffling and remove the regressive radicals out of its respected parties if it wishes to see government again. It certainly says something when ex Greens leader Bob Brown comes out and admits it. http://www.theaustralian.com.au/fed...6de6-1470124739

Surely if the silent majority for one nation were a silent majority they would have elected...a majority. Also presumably they would be silent which would be a welcome loving change from their constant bleating

I get that the RBA lowers rates cause the economy is poo poo but the 'perceived' risk thing is confusing me. I thought term deposit rates were more an indication of what the banks think will happen to rates in the future, but I guess in this case the 1y rates going up wouldn't seem to make sense cause it's hard to see the economy bouncing back before then. Is he saying that the banks are struggling to get deposits to cover their borrowings because people think they'll fall over with the rest of the economy when the house of cards collapses?

The interest rate is basically their profit rate from the loan. If they aren't going to be making as much with a loan, the riskier it becomes to give out that money.

Therefore many people didn't have the chance to vote for ONP in the lower house. The senate results however speak another tale as everyone in a particular state can vote for the same people. Therefore the final results clearly resonate the feelings of how most Australians feel about our political leadership.

That's why they don't cute the lending rate in line with the RBA's cuts, right? So they keep the difference. But how does increasing the term deposit rate fit into this? Surely if the bank is looking to minimise risk they don't increase the rates they pay on deposits so they don't have to pay out as much?
