The reform of Australia’s school funding system has degenerated into an unseemly arm wrestle between federal leaders and premiers, and conflicting claims about whether money would go up or down over the…
High-intensity, short duration warm up activities at half time intervals boost athletic performance, a study of soccer players has found. The research may provide an insight into how losing teams could…
Barry O'Farrell must be Tony Abbott’s least favourite Liberal just now. O'Farrell has not just lived up to that old cliché “don’t stand between a premier and a bucket of money” by doing a deal with Julia…
Can you believe it? We’re now debating a second term Abbott government. On one hand, cautious Tony is presenting himself as careful and unthreatening: bipartisan on disability, accepting the budget’s savings…
It is not that this budget was a bad one. It’s that, according to most people on both sides of politics, voters aren’t listening anymore. Budget week seemed not a big economic moment, but principally another…
Tony Abbott has removed a big uncertainty for voters, and simplified the opposition’s task, with his promise to retain the carbon tax compensation even after he gets rid of the carbon price. The Coalition’s…
Tony Abbott has promised a Coalition government would keep the income tax and pension compensation Labor has given even after it scraps the carbon tax. The pledge, made in his budget reply, is a major…

How did the Australian economy, which boasts the best performance of the major advanced economies, end up with an estimated budget deficit of A$19 billion this year and an estimated debt of $178 billion…
Treasurer Wayne Swan has delivered a budget with a A$19.4 billion deficit this financial year, falling only to $18 billion in 2013-14. The government would aim to bring the budget back to “balance” – less…
Softening up voters for harsh measures, Julia Gillard observed a fortnight ago that “Tuesday 14 May will be no old-fashioned pre-election budget night”. The budget would not be a “political pamphlet” but…

Liberal Senator Cory Bernadi has called on the federal Coalition to oppose the referendum to recognise local government in the constitution, which will be held with the September 14 election. Senator Bernadi…
With the election just four months away but the campaigning seeming endless, the view of politics from the marginal Labor seat of Eden-Monaro is one of disillusionment. Regardless of gender, age or voting…
In David Williamson’s satirical play “Don’s Party” based around the 1969 federal election night, Eden-Monaro gets a mention, among the early signs of a big swing to Labor. At that poll, the seat returned…
