  Down under on the right side — Authority: 422
  News.com.au – EMBATTLED Liberal leader Malcolm Turnbull has indicated he will not give up the fight to pass the Rudd Government’s Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) despite mass resignations from his frontbench. “I am the leader of the Liberal Party,” Mr Turnbull said in Canberra. “I was confirmed as such ...

• Tony Abbott resigns

  
  Deus Lo Vult — Authority: 415
  Abbott is leaving the front bench of the Coalition, it’s reported, so that he can vote against the ETS bill. It’s expected that the shadow cabinet tow the line with the leader. By opting out of the cabinet, Abbott is free to vote how he wants. And he wants the leadership of the Liberals. So, by positioning himself ...

• Why I still say “No” to White Ribbon Day

  
  IAIN HALL — Authority: 132
  I  had the opportunity to watch question time yesterday and I was entirely  unimpressed to see both the prime minister and the leader of the opposition solemnly declaring support for White Ribbon Day. Brother Number One was waxing eloquently about how he felt responsible and  ashamed about domestic violence because ...

• Australian Senate Chokes on Carbon Bill

  
  typing is not activism.... — Authority:
  Senator Stephen ‘Peaked in Pre-School’ Fielding truly is the pubic hair stuck in the throat of Australian democracy. Imposed on us by a Labor Party too control-hungry to preference Greens, he has probably cost the country $7B in compensation to heavily polluting industries – such as coal, electricity, and ...

  The Tizona Group — Authority: 436
  From the Australian. PM vows no family will be worse off KEVIN Rudd will spend $6 billion less compensating households for higher energy prices, however he has assured families that they will not be worse off.

• CLIMATE COOKS, OPPOSITION MELTS, POLLUTERS PROFIT

  
  DUCKPOND — Authority: 127
  Fun and games all round it seems. The contention is now held that climate scientists have cooked the books, even as the climate heats over the long term. It turns out the stolen emails have fingered the scientists as dishonest fiddlers of the figures even as the substantive case remains – so a big political win ...

• Liberals in turmoil

  
  Deus Lo Vult — Authority: 415
  I so hope that the Liberals and Nationals errupt into a fist-fight tomorrow. With Tuckey’s failed leadership spill and with the vote to come, things are hardly going to cool down. None of the Nats and half of the Libs it would seem are so opposed to their leadership at the moment that Warren Truss could well stand a ...

• Opposition Leaders

  
  Coo-ees from the Cloister — Authority: 124
  Isnt it interesting who the current and possible future leaders of the Liberal Party are and the most likely future leader of the National Party is? Yes, I know they have various views about "...et in unam Sanctam Catholicam et Apostolicam Ecclesiam" but still - very interesting.

• Omissions Trading

  
  Andrew Bartlett — Authority: 520
  It really is quite extraordinary hearing the squeals of outrage coming from the Coalition MPs suggesting they haven’t got enough time to consider CPRS amendments and that the debate on such an important issue is being rushed. Leaving aside the fact that this is the second time the legislation has been before the ...

• Essential Report – Vote Strength and Partisan ID

  
  Pollytics — Authority: 469
  This week’s Essential Report has the primaries running 45/39 to Labor, washing out into a two party preferred of 55/45 – no change on the major party figures from last week. The Greens are down 2 to 7 , while the broad Others are up 2 to 9 . This comes from a two week rolling sample of 1892, giving us an ...

• Essential Research: 55-45

  
  The Poll Bludger — Authority: 489
  The latest weekly Essential Research survey has Labor’s two-party lead steady on 55-45 after the previous week’s sharp drop from 59-41. Further questions probe “firmness of vote” (slightly stronger among Coalition voters); satisfaction with Labor and Coalition positions on asylum seekers, climate change, the ...

• Mike Rann and the new puritanism

  
  Trevor Cook — Authority: 121
  There doesnt appear to be anything illegal in the revelations on TV last night by the spurned girlfriend. If the allegations are true, they contain little more than suggestions of some minor inappropriateness. And nothing that wold lead us to question Ranns capacity or suitability to be Premier. Why then is it so ...

  Scandalum Magnatum — Authority: 112
  The first in an occasional series. Now I don’t really know my syllogisms from my enthymemes, so further translation may be required. Sydney Morning Herald op-eds do not necessarily lend themselves to a logical treatment, and I have taken the liberty of supplying some unstated but necessary propositions. In other ...

• Bob making sense on Australia’s population

  
  IAIN HALL — Authority: 132
  Politicians and intellectuals who advocate a continuing exponential  growth in our population, and an ever expanding immigration program are part of of that mad scurry to add more people to the wide brown land. I have travelled over a great deal of this lovely country and as vast  and beautiful as it is the one [...]

  Radical Cross Stitch — Authority: 108
  Those of you who’ve been following this site for a while will know that one of the biggest issues that concerns me is the stifling effects of land speculation on our communities and our creativity.  While many of us crafty types would love to make stuff full time, it’s just not possible when we need to work so ...
