    Anti-Privatisation

    Thanks for the factoid, but you're wrong. Teachers union ads which claim this don't take into account teachers wages when quoting the public figures, and do when quoting the private figures.

    Anti-Privatisation

    Denying access to voucher based schemes for services with a public/private mix is most inequitable of all. There are many in the lower socioeconomic groups who opt to go for the cheaper independent schools because they want a better future for their children, or for minimal private health cover...

    Rudd calls for era of "social capitalism"

    APRA was all Costello. No, no, no and no. Education is not a good with a static supply. Increasing subsidies moves the supply curve to the left and decreases prices. Even HSC economics should have taught you this.

    Three-pack-a-day smoker's widow awarded $12m

    Keep in mind that this guy potentially started smoking in the 50s, though, when there was still widespread denial from the tobacco industry about the health risks. Jury Orders Philip Morris To Pay $8M To Widow - cbs4.com I think the legal argument would be that person starts smoking, relying...

    Three-pack-a-day smoker's widow awarded $12m

    I'd be interested to see the basis for the Judgment, whether it was based around inadequate disclosure of the health effects by the cigarette companies or their lack of attempts to ameliorate these. I can see manufacturers of low-tar/nicotine cigarettes being in particular trouble though...

    Anti-Privatisation

    Thing is though, the state has to set its standard of education or health at a certain level, and no matter how high that is there's always going to be people who can afford to/want to top that up, and it's not disadvantaging anyone else in the broader community. Wherefore barbarism?

    Brendan Nelson quits politics

    Very much so. He stated at an HR Nicholls dinner that I was at that WorkChoices was just a softened up version of what he actually wanted to put through.

    Brendan Nelson quits politics

    Trivia: Turnbull was actually only preselected for Wentworth after dry stacking against Peter King. Minichin is a very solid individual, and if I had my choice of people to lead the country he'd fall very near to the top, but I think that he, and Andrew Robb, are better suited to supporting...
