As have other nations such as China, and the Newly Industrialising Economies in the 1990's, and up to today. This high growth rate is primarily due to the low starting base. Ie, their systems were very inefficient and moving into more efficient methods of production will obviously yield a higher...

I feel that NTB is really just attempting to justify inequalities, and cement his perceived position in society.

Well, genius, in fact lower taxes in this instance reduce economic activity through limiting the real drivers of growth in an economy such as Australia. That is: Education and research which are by necessity mainly provided by the government as this is a fair and efficient means of achieving a...

The Quote attached to the above post is from the Hoover Institute at Stanford University. This is a dangerous source of info with huge bias. Aspect of the mission statement: This is principle of third way politics, such as that of the corporate friendly IDU. This political stream aims to...

Agreed. ............................

Following on from what I said above, what you have written above is madness. The current system of progressive taxation is more 'fair and honest' than a regressive taxation system because a regressive taxation system indirectly discriminates against those with lower incomes. The current...

A flat tax rate would be regressive because it taxes unfairly. As BASIC economics will show, a poor persons marginal propensity to consume will be higher than someone on a higher income. Ie a poorer person needs a higher proportion of their income to meet their basic needs than does a wealthy...

Never forget that homosexual men were also slaughtered. Their deaths are just as significant as those of the Jews.

Gough is a hero because he held his principles above the arguments of economists and the right wing. He did the right thing. Even had he known that there would be many difficulties financially he would still have been right to proceed as he pushed ahead for progress regardless of opposition that...

I am far left wing, and I do not believe that everything should come for free. In fact, I believe the opposite. ie that all people should have equality of oppourtunity and greater equality of outcomes so that they can achieve if they so desire. It is ironic that you suggest that if people...

I don't know about Kim, but I sure would love to have Conroy. He's not cute, but he's a rebel! http://www.alp.org.au/people/vic/conroy_stephen.php

Even worse: Helen Coonan, Trish Draper, Downer, Anderson, Vaile, Hill. Of all the Liberals the only decent option is Brendan Nelson, and this has been brought into question through his VSU legislation and flag pole fetish.

I discovered BOS whilst searching for resources for HSC. I'm from Northern Sydney. Ruddock's electorate. *cringes*

I'd like to see either Kevin Rudd or Bob McMullan as PM. I think suicide would be on the cards if Costello or Downer became PM.

Not only this. Howard is likely to use the current account deficit that HE allowed to occur as a justification to improve the efficiency of Australian business through further labour market reforms. A better way to improve the efficiency of Australian business would be to get the most...

Thus: and:

I can accept that there are positive functions for role models within society. However children already repeat the behaviours of their parents and accept their views/beliefs etc. The main reason for arguing against role models was the suggestion that 'professional' sportspeople make good...

Note this CIA: China buildup tilting balance http://edition.cnn.com/2005/ALLPOLITICS/02/17/goss.china.reut/

Yep, it is the way the US believes that it can dictate to the world its polices. It doesn't matter how powerful an authority is, without the compliance of those it attempts to rule the US cannot exert its muscle. Thus the more the US pisses off the world the more it 'heads down the wrong path'...
