    Liberal or Labor?

    The 'rare' point indicates efforts such as compulsory counselling, ultrasounds, etc wouldn't be out of the question. EDIT: Or banning certain methods.

    Tony Abbott - Do you want him as PM?

    They're all 50:50, except Morgan, which is historically about as accurate as the fucking tea leaves.

    Tony Abbott - Do you want him as PM?

    A sector which is entirely funded by government money is not an organic private industry, stop being pedantic. We've been through this. It is a deadweight loss because subsidising one or more ways around an externality is inefficient compared to punishing the externality itself. Ergo if you...

    Gay marriage insidious and dangerous, says the Pope

    Catholicism implies papal infallibility. If you think that a man who refused to act on sexual abuse claims is infallible, then you're paedophilia apologist.

    maths or actuarial?

    Thanks first year. Once you get to third year maths is nothing like this. It's all very hard work.

    maths or actuarial?

    If you want to work in finance do finance. Employers tend to employ them over maths majors.

    Tony Abbott - Do you want him as PM?

    I'm not saying it's not a real job, I'm saying that in the context of stimulus created jobs they're generally: 1. Short term, and after this the employees have to go on to find work in private sectors of the economy anyway. 2. In sectors of the economy where we've 'picked winners' (which...

    Tony Abbott - Do you want him as PM?

    That graph is what the treasury produced to show correlation. When you employ people to take on suboptimal tasks you briefly mask a bunch of numbers which make your government look bad, but you delay the ability of the real economy to recover and rehire because you're snatching most of the...

    Tony Abbott - Do you want him as PM?

    Don't throw stones in glass houses champ it's not stimulatory.

    Tony Abbott - Do you want him as PM?

    Did the stimulus work? at Catallaxy Files 1. You're arguing the equivalent of employing people to dig holes and fill them in again. 2. When you direct capital to areas of the economy artificially stimulated it hurts growth in the long term compared to having just some of that capital redirected...

    Tony Abbott - Do you want him as PM?

    I have evidence not just that it didn't work, but that treasury tried to conceal this fact: For those playing at home, this means 1 in every 8 dollars spent on stimulus is reflected in economic growth.

    Tony Abbott - Do you want him as PM?

    Instead we should stimulate it with borrowed funds and have only a fraction of this spending replicated in actual growth. Wait, that's a stupid idea.

    Union Board Election 2010

    Just a hunch, but based on the results I'd say they recorded a smaller number of votes than the five candidates who were elected.

    United Kingdom Election 2010

    Refer back to my previous example. If I steal something from a shopkeeper and leave his cost of acquisition on the counter, is that right?

    Tutorial attendance for school of mathematics ( math1015 , 1011)

    I skipped them all and got HDs. It only matters if you're a borderline fail case, they might give you a supplementary exam if you can prove you've tried.

    How is it any different to other property crimes?

    United Kingdom Election 2010

    Punitive measures for those who breach intellectual property rights aren't a civil liberties issue dude, no matter how much you or I might disagree with them. EDIT: Just so it's clear, I'm somebody who views stealing IP as ethically little different from stealing a physical good from a...
