Deceptive attack on Howard's record

Posted in Op eds

In The Australian today:

"You don't need to be a professor of economics to know John Howard was more fiscally prudent than Silvio Berlusconi. And if an econometric study suggested the opposite, you would look very carefully at its data and methods before placing much weight on its results. Unless, that is, you were the Fairfax press and the ABC. "

Greenback flood worse than fiscal cliff

Posted in Op eds

In The Australian today:

"With the US facing both the prospect of the "fiscal cliff" and a looming showdown over the allowed debt ceiling, it is difficult to fault consumers and investors for being spooked. These are times to be prudent. And that makes it all the worse that the Gillard government has abandoned even the pretence of having a credible fiscal strategy. "

A dream tax to solve a stuffed surplus

Posted in Op eds

From today's Australian:

"Something fishy has happened to prices for our feathered friends. Not only has this year's Christmas Price Index, which calculates the cost of buying the gifts specified in the Twelve Days of Christmas, increased by 3.7 per cent, well above the Reserve Bank's inflation target, but prices for turtle doves, French hens and calling birds all spiked in 2012, rising by 25 per cent or more. Even swans, which at more than $1000 each already squeezed the family purse, have increased by a hefty 8 per cent."
