I wonder what Tony 2015 would say about Dutton's media bias concerns.

Presumably not the same thing as Tony 2013: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/nat...y-1226704995609

Murdoch's minions posted:

Rudd gets coverage he deserves, Tony Abbott says
BEN PACKHAM | THE AUSTRALIAN | AUGUST 27, 2013 1:19PM

TONY Abbott has dismissed Kevin Rudd's latest attack on the media, saying if he wanted better coverage, he should perform better.

The Prime Minister hit out at the Murdoch press once again today, claiming its reporting of the election was inhibiting fair political debate.

But the Opposition Leader said the coverage was a direct reflection of the government's performance.

"The reason why this government gets poor coverage, at least in some areas of the media, is because it has been the worst government in our history," he said.

"If you want better coverage, be a better government."

Mr Abbott said a free media must be allowed to take a position, as many newspapers had done in 2007 when they supported Mr Rudd over then-prime minister John Howard.

"I didn't hear Mr Rudd complaining then," Mr Abbott said.

"I suspect that many of them will support a change of government this time, and that's their right.

"But fundamentally, if you want good coverage, you've got to perform well."

More recently, Newman has called climate change a delusion, stating that the IPCC "progressively has applied mass psychology through a compliant media to spread the delusion that wicked Western industrialists are causing irreparable damage to the climate." Newman wants the current Australian target for electricity generated by renewable sources dumped because he does not accept climate change science and says renewable energy is pushing up prices.[3]

In August 2014, Newman was widely criticised by leading scientists and newspaper journalists for stating that the earth is undergoing "cooling" rather than warming.[10][11] Furthermore, he suggested that climate change is propaganda

Interesting to see on QandA last night Tom Switzer calling out Naomi Klein for being "intellectually honest" about calling for a review of the entire capitalist system in order to stop climate change. He dropped in other popular phrases such as Watermelon and how fossil fuels are helping lift millions of people out of poverty.

As usual, it's the episodes without politicians that prove to be the most fun.

From what I got out of it was that they axed a tax they themselves were going to introduce, because it was a bad tax. Something about a tax on bank accounts.

Ahh, this was the deposit tax. I wrote something up about it a while back which explained how it works. It's effectively an extra 0.05% interest on all deposits, which would reduce the effective interest rate earned on savings.

So if you have $10,000 in savings in your account, earning say 2% p/a interest, it would instead earn 1.95% p/a. In real terms this is $200 vs $195 in interest.

In a year.

...for $10,000 in savings.

Getting rid of it now is pretty stupid.

Ban Greens from voting on development proposals: property lobby

Councillors opposing new property developments should not be able to vote on development applications, the lobby group for big property developers says.

Local Government Minister Paul Toole last week said the government would amend legislation that allowed councillors to determine development conditions around projects in which they had a pecuniary interest.

The amendments would come just three years after the Coalition government introduced laws allowing councillors to vote on planning controls that could affect their developments.

They follow a call by Labor leader Luke Foley for developers and estate agents to be banned from acting as councillors, made after the furore over Auburn deputy mayor Salim Mehajer's wedding.

The chief executive of the Urban Taskforce, Chris Johnson, said he agreed that councillors should not be able to vote on matters in which they had an interest. But Mr Johnson went further, saying councillors opposed to property development also had an interest and should be barred from voting.

"Quite a lot of councillors have been elected by action groups that are against development," Mr Johnson said.

"My position is that they have therefore been elected on a particular platform which makes them not independent about assessing the project, but which gives them a fairly strong bias."

Asked if under his proposal all Greens councillors would not be able to vote on projects, Mr Johnson said: "I think it would.

"I think this is the issue, those councillors that have a negative attitude to growth and change and greater densities cannot assess a project with absolute independence."

Mr Johnson said that rather than councillors approving projects, projects should be assessed by independent panels.

Leichhardt Greens mayor Rochelle Porteous said the party's mayors and councillors had supported many developments across the city.

"Urban consolidation is an important part of development generally," Cr Porteous said. "We are certainly supportive of appropriate development in appropriate locations in urban areas," she said.

Marrickville Greens councillor Max Phillips said Mr Johnson's proposal was "ridiculous."

"Standing up for the community and enforcing development controls against developers always trying to squeeze more and more in is not anti-growth but acting in the public interest," Cr Phillips said.
