Those who have listened to the recent podcast I took part in will be aware of my concern that the ABC would face cuts under an Abbott government. Is the risk that I speak of real? The answer is almost…
Academic rigor, journalistic flair

Who isn’t happy to see a new-born? Well soon enough, if the polls and betting markets are to be believed, the taxpayer will wince every time a new baby comes into the world. An Abbott government will be…
At election time we’re swamped with polling information - it seems there is a new poll, or variation of a poll, every other day. But is this a poor reflection on our democracy? A lot of people are uncomfortable…
Adrian Beaumont draws our attention to the betting markets and to the controversy that surrounds those markets relating to election outcomes. He suggests the betting markets follow polls and conventional…
In the early noughties former Labor leader Kim Beazley suggested that he’d like to see the unemployment rate with a ‘5’ in front of it. At the time this was considered a huge faux pas. At the time he had…
Welcome to the second of The Conversation’s Election 2013 podcasts. Each week The Conversation will be sitting down with Australia’s top political minds to discuss all things election as we gear up for…
The election is off the tabloid front pages. That is bad news for the incumbent - as I keep saying Kevin Rudd has to win the campaign to win the election. This view isn’t just anti-Rudd propaganda. To…
Last night Paul Murray made two interesting comments on Sky News. First he said the media were bored with the election. Then he said that Kevin Rudd was losing the election. These two observations are…
Mine operators have proposed nine major new coal mines for the Galilee Basin in central Queensland. Those proposals currently being assessed by the Queensland government could significantly impact water…
The Pre-Election Economic and Fiscal Outlook (PEFO) was published this morning. Zareh Ghazarian provided a very readable account of the background to this document. But rather than being an update of the…
Yesterday I published an article here at The Conversation on the GST - specifically on the notion of a 20 per cent GST with offsetting tax cuts elsewhere in the system. Reading through the comments the…
Maybe the leaders’ debate wasn’t so boring after all. It’s Tuesday and ‘Notegate’ is still raging. Troy Bramston has an op-ed in The Australian arguing that Kevin Rudd didn’t cheat. It’s hard to get too…
It looks like the GST will feature prominently in yet another election. The government is running a scare campaign on whether the Coalition will raise the GST after the election. In the meantime Tony Abbott…
The optics are important. Nobody really believes that the leaders’ debates are decisive in changing votes, but they do provide important visual cues to the eventual outcome. As I’ve written before, prime…
I have written elsewhere that the way that Kevin Rudd can win the election - and I think he’s in it to win, not that he will win mind you - is by generating political turbulence. Preferably by creating…
So the employment figures for July have been published by the ABS today. The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate is 5.7 per cent and the participation rate is 65.1 per cent. By historical standards the…
The Daily Telegraph has another ‘controversial’ front page. I suspect they would have run this picture irrespective of there being an election on. Everyone love a ‘pollies are hypocrites’ story - especially…
Day three of the campaign and we’re still talking about the front page of the Daily Telegraph from day one. Tim Dunlop writing at new media outlet The Drum weighs in: “The Tele’s front page was a very…
Mark Twain is reputed to have said that you should never pick a fight with people who buy ink by the barrel. In modern terms that should include never pick a fight with people who can rebroadcast what…
The higher education sector’s main regulatory body should have its functions reduced, according to a new government report that has called for a reduction in red tape for universities. The Tertiary Education…
