They all think Swann is a silly clown.

Swan is a bit of a dope.

I don’t think Bowen and Shorten are as neolib as they used to be. K “Economic Conservative” Rudd came to power promising to play nice with the right and Gillard seemed to operate with this in mind too. Obviously they were gravely mistaken.

The ones who are still there understand this which is how you get policies like the CGT/negative gearing reform.

" ABC apology to Kevin Rudd posted:

On January 31, 2018, ABC News reported on a document prepared in April 2009 for the Strategic Priorities and Budget Committee (SPBC) warning of critical risks in the roll-out of the Energy Efficient Homes Package.

In reporting on that document, the ABC did not intend to suggest that Mr Rudd recklessly ignored critical risks of the home insulation scheme before the deaths of four young installers, or that he lied to the royal commission that examined those deaths.

The ABC accepts that, as found by the royal commission, Mr Rudd was not warned of, and was not aware of critical safety risks at the time.

The royal commission made no adverse findings against Mr Rudd and there is no suggestion that Mr Rudd lied to the commission.

The ABC unreservedly apologises to Mr Rudd for any harm or embarrassment caused.

So... do you think this could mean the end of the Coalition? We've had the leader of the Libs say the leader of the Nats should step down, and the leader of the Nats is now saying "go gently caress yourself"...

Turnbull will back down because he’s invertebrate.

you can set off losses against future profit so if you made a loss of $100 last year and a profit of $150 this year you pay tax on $50

I did wonder last week how Katherine Murphy was going to skew the polling results and welp it's a beauty. After arguing that Malcolm being ahead in Prefered PM was a sign of a strong start to 2018, this week she has just chosen not to include any mention of his 5 point fall in her article today.

quote:

While most of the Newspoll movements are within the survey’s margin of error, the controversy of the past fortnight has coincided with a five-point drop in Turnbull’s approval rating.
