Coming in late here but Wayne Swan renounced the more extreme aspects of neoliberalism sometime in the last year or so. His articles specifically reflect him changing his mind as he's seen the growing divide and what's happening in the labour market. Keating followed suit shortly after and he was the one who primarily was responsible for them. They're allowed to change their mind, better late than never I guess. Morrison himself will probably be getting similar advice from treasury and finance except he's hamstrung by the fact that if he does anything about it he literally destroys his own party. It's a miracle the few concessions they managed to get into the latest budget but you can bet your arse that's been carefully calculated.

His articles specifically reflect him changing his mind as he's seen the growing divide and what's happening in the labour market. I think there was a degree of naivety when Keating introduced his changes (both under Hawke and as PM). Labor genuinely thought they were winning and would be in power for eternity. They thought class war was over because their base had built lives in which their children were attending universities, owned homes, whatever. Then the new set of policy levers got handed to the liberals and the levers were ones that they enjoyed pulling. We essentially had to float the dollar and needed to reform IR, but Labor didn't go far enough in the accords and install a German style labour union inclusivity pact or something similar, so the whole thing went to the poo poo and bogged unions (even the good ones) down in busy work, which was the end of collective power. You can't hire enough people to properly engage in thousands of EBAs a year. When you as an organiser are negotiating with a guy who is doing one EBA and focusing on it all day every day while you are racing around in the car trying to negotiate 15 concurrently, something has to break. The thing that breaks for organisers is usually their brains as they spend 80 hours a week working without a regular sleep pattern as they hold meeting at 6am and 11pm on the same day, then work office hours, then have a meeting at 12am the same day. An organiser is a perpetually on worker. It's a nightmare lifestyle when you start to hit the wall and the flames of righteousness start to dim and all you can think is "gently caress, I'd love to just go home and watch television without fixating on my next appointment in 3 hours". The whole thing tends to eventually reward "work smart" organisers, many of which are still fantastic and do great things, but it also opens the door wide for apparatchiks with a five year plan for politics, or it results in workers at low density work sites being ignored due to workload. It also punishes good organisers with divorce and poo poo personal/family lives because they're never at home. I recall one famous meeting where one of our country organisers (who is a loving legendary human) requested a life size cardboard of himself. When asked why replied "so I can leave it at home so the kids don't forget what I look like." I laughed but it carried enough truth to be mildly depressing. e: TLDR; the 3rd way looked amazing in 1985 but it turns out that war never changes JBP fucked around with this message at 02:28 on Jun 27, 2017 |

So is Hinch bad enough for us to want Muir in his place?

Hinch has a column in Crikey that he posts to around weekly, sometimes more often when parliament is sitting. It's quite refreshing, and I think he does it because he's so used to it that it doesn't take him too much time either.

quote:Well folks, the Festival of Dangerous Ideas – the 'ideas festival' where middle-class lefty boomers pay to see Andrew Bolt and feel dangerous for a bit – is no more. The Sydney Opera House has axed it, and are replacing it with a progressive “ideas, art and action” festival. I'm a little disappointed, the FODI was really good for a few years.
