PM's power plan can't fix shock

Posted in Op eds

In The Australian today:

"Julia Gillard's announcement yesterday that she would take action to "save families up to $250 a year on electricity bills" is readily understandable. With a long, hot summer in prospect, Australian families are in for an electric shock. "

Despite scandal, unions make Gillard strong

Posted in Op eds

In The Australian today:

"It just won't go away. All week, Julia Gillard refused in parliament to answer detailed questions about her role in overcoming the West Australian regulator's concerns with the incorporation of the so-called AWU Workplace Reform Association. Now it is clear that she was pivotal in doing so."

State's long history of dodgy deals

Posted in Op eds

In The Australian today:

"Corruption, the economist Robert Klitgaard once said, is the inevitable product of "rents plus discretion minus accountability". He had the gangsters running equatorial Africa in mind; but if the allegations being presented to the Independent Commission Against Corruption are proven, he could have been writing about the government led by Kristina Keneally in NSW."

Poorly positioned for the future

Posted in Op eds

In The Australian today:

"The opposition was right to ridicule the Asian Century white paper. But that hardly means the changes under way in the world economy can be dismissed; on the contrary, positioning Australia to grasp the opportunities they create, while managing their risks, should be at the heart of the opposition's economic strategy. "

Can polarised US close the fiscal gap?

Posted in Op eds

In The Australian today:

"Historically, American voters have responded less to the immediate state of the US economy than to recent trends: if the economy is improving, incumbents win. On that basis, Barack Obama should secure a second term in this week's vote. But whoever the next president may be, the US faces challenges its political system seems increasingly poorly placed to address."
