Australian politics is becoming too “presidential”, in the view of participants in our Eden-Monaro focus group. And, they believe, this election has been going on too long. In their first discussion since…
It’s all in the eyes and ears of the beholders and listeners. The popular media saw Kevin Rudd with notes when the debate’s rules of engagement banned them. The gay marriage lobby heard that there would…
In federal elections, with national attention squarely focused on which party will form government, it is all too easy to forget former US Speaker of the House of Representatives Tip O’Neill’s aphorism…
Tonight’s debate was not a debate. It was a joint news conference and a dull one at that. There was not the head-to-head exchanges and jousting that a genuine “debate” requires. There was no knock out…
In Melbourne the “Indi expats” number about 30. They include nieces and nephews of Cathy McGowan, independent candidate for the north east Victorian seat, and relatives of family and friends. The “Indi…
Today’s Nielsen poll has the Coalition in front, leading Labor 52-48% on a two-party vote. As Kevin Rudd and Tony Abbott prepare to go head to head in an hour-long debate at the National Press Club tomorrow…
When leaders take on media moguls, it always makes for a spicy story. When the characters are Kevin Rudd and Rupert Murdoch, one hangs out for the next episode. In the Labor camp, a few people must be…

Kevin Rudd has done well to recruit Peter Beattie. Just as Bob Carr was a good catch for Julia Gillard. There is nothing wrong with a bit of recycling in politics, provided that, as with other products…
“This year our debt will be $30 billion. This year what we see is that government expenditure has grown by $30 billion… The entire volume of our deficit for this financial year is explained by government…
Opposition leader Tony Abbott says he has never discussed the National Broadband Network with media proprietor Rupert Murdoch, after prime minister Kevin Rudd challenged him to reveal any conversation…
There are only 150 seats in the House of Representatives. You would think it would not be beyond the wit and wisdom of the major parties, which fight to be the government, to choose good, or at least appropriate…

Opposition leader Tony Abbott will promise business a 1.5% company tax cut from July 1 2015, at a cost of $5 billion over the budget period. Abbott will say the measure will further help Australian businesses…
It’s hard to imagine Rupert Murdoch sitting on Twitter, isn’t it? But tweet he does and today Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and his deputy Anthony Albanese tweeted back. For “tweet” and “tweeted” in that sentence…
The Media Panel’s co-chair, Professor Brian McNair, says the days of Rupert Murdoch’s influence on election results are gone, with the company weakened and today’s citizenry no longer passive consumers…
