High cost of fairy floss policies

Posted in Op eds

In The Australian today:
"Always keen to play the blame game, Kevin Rudd claims Labor's climate change policies are not "the primary reason for the hike in electricity prices"; rather, the hike is due to "excessive rates of return for publicly owned transmission and distribution utilities which have become cash cows for various state and territory governments". That is not just incorrect; it misleads the public about the cost of Rudd's policies."

Rudd plays carbon roulette

Posted in Op eds

In The Australian today:

"The carbon tax, it seems, is a good policy that has lost its way. Thank goodness Kevin Rudd is there to set it straight. But far from putting it back on track, he has merely confirmed that under Labor, climate change policy is determined not by rules but by roulette, with the ruler du jour spinning the wheel and choosing the outcome."

Kevin Rudd's real record as PM speaks for itself

Posted in Op eds

In The Australian today:

"On April 20, 2008, 1000 of the "nation's best and brightest thinkers" rose in stage-managed unison to give a triumphant Kevin Rudd a standing ovation. With the delegates to the 2020 Summit having agreed that 1 per cent of all public spending should be devoted to the arts and that every employer should be obliged to provide 30 minutes of free fitness training a day, the imagination had seized power. And Rudd, who had guided Labor out of the wilderness, was its messiah."

Carbon folly comes at a price

Posted in Op eds

In The Australian:

"Good on the Clean Energy Finance Corporation, the $10 billion fund established by Labor's climate change package. Other government efforts at picking winners end up shafting taxpayers. The CEFC is doing so from the start."

Super Kevin is the I of the storm

Posted in Op eds

In The Australian today:

"The trouble with Kevin is that he's unfit to govern. On that his former colleagues are right. And when no less an authority than Stephen Conroy thinks you're certifiable, the home for the bewildered surely beckons."
