According to Galaxy it’s now 50/50 again. The Libs are looking more like winners all the time.

1. it would finally teach the public lesson about who the greens are good and freaking hard

A lesson that we would all pay for for the rest of our miserable lives. Bad laws rarely get repealed. The state never gets smaller, only bigger. Any new restrictions on freedom brought in by the greens would just be continued on by the next government.

Be careful what you wish for.

Part of me … would like to see labor win and the Greens holding influence through a senate balance of power.
This would have two results.
1. it would finally teach the public lesson about who the greens are good and freaking hard
2. next time around it could knock off labor for a generation.

Second that.

I have it on quite good authority that Neville Wran never allowed the words “Nick Greiner” to soil his lips. He preferred “that little c***” Charming.

I wouldn’t subscribe to the FT – they are commies.

It won’t happen now but it wouldn’t shock me if the FT or the WSJ eventually have a go here. Out of the two I would tend to guess it would he the WSJ because of the Murdoch connection but would only be when they can figure out the new model.

The Oz has the skeleton makings of a spin-off with it’s WSJ supplement.

No business journal in the world deserves a subscription when it supports blatant theft like resources tax.

Yes, I know. Their coverage of the RSPT was woeful – the editorial position to support the government v their own readership was a commercial decision that I don’t understand. But they don’t have to pretned to have a human interest side to their coverage, they have the news without the crap.

In the future when the Australian have sorted out their ipad app, I’ll get an ipad and subscribe to the WSJ and Australian and read that on the train.

Sinc it’s the most left wing business newspaper in the western world. It’s horrendous.

They even supported the resources tax referring to it as “elegant” which has now being used as a word to describe basic theft.

Fairfax is going to bust and not a moment too soon.

In defence of the Fin Review – I have a home subscription and read it on the train in the mornings. While its editorial position is centre-left I still like it for the business news.
