    Do you support the Government's upgrade of Australia's broadband infrastructure

    I have a certain thing for Tony Judt's works... "Haven't you guys learnt anything from the 60s? You got the sex, you got the drugs, you got the cultural freedom, but what about the part which said 'don't trust anyone over the age of 30?'"

    Do you support the Government's upgrade of Australia's broadband infrastructure

    Quantitative easing is to an extent, uncharted waters, in some case it has worked, in others not. but there are facts which have affected the result say Germany in 1923, having to pay France and Britian. and Romania in the early '90s, where money was stolen by government officials. Though in...

    Do you support the Government's upgrade of Australia's broadband infrastructure

    THe only reason I stated Smoot-Hawley is because it has been mentioned ever so often in the media of late. e.g. The battle of Smoot-Hawley | The battle of Smoot-Hawley | The Economist My economics doesn't even know what the tariff was, thoguh my modern history teacher does - doing America...

    Do you support the Government's upgrade of Australia's broadband infrastructure

    IT will not cost $200/month, that is an accusation made by the opposition for a cheap comeback without evidence, it has been projected by BP Parabas, that it will be far less that; on the ABC on Lateline (8th of April) and analyst from Macquaire Bank predictied it would make all services cheaper...

    Do you support the Government's upgrade of Australia's broadband infrastructure

    nothing's wrong with keynsian economics - there isn't a term for post behavioural economics government stimuli as no modern economist has written about since the presumption was that the wealth of globalisation that had occured would continue and thus no need. I read that there are some new...

    Do you support the Government's upgrade of Australia's broadband infrastructure

    nothing under howard is an overstatement, i'll give you that, he did improve rural roads. but the sale of Telstra, and its associated issues is a clear issue. He also did have great financial regulation. Yea, Keynsian economics, nothing wrong with the public sector stepping in to fill the void...

    Do you support the Government's upgrade of Australia's broadband infrastructure

    I frankly don't know how that could be, he made this country dependant on the corporate taxes of the mining boom! which aply, are currently non-existant and this goes to show his long term good governance. this is utterly poor governance. He could have invested in those things which are ever so...

    Do you support the Government's upgrade of Australia's broadband infrastructure

    And when you say it is "economically fucked up," how so? you should know how Keysian Economics works? and that economic development causes economic growth? and that the conservative estimates that 37000 people will gain job fro mthe building, and that 25000 people will annually for 8 years gain...

    Can you please think of a better policy option after the fact that almost all possible invest fro mthe private sector has dissipated with the global financial crisis? and moreover, sure infrstructrue is under funded in this country, but they're state issues - the state governments have no...

    Rudd to build broadband network

    THere shouldn't be any government(taxpayer) funding to private schools, for the sole reaso nthat they are private, not public. they are owned by private business, it is unethical to give people who can afford elite education better education by the taxpayer, it is completely oligarchic and...

    Russian people - these people were the Georgians whom the Russians gave passports to in preparation for the conflict. Tensions have been simmering for years. there's been a lot of wars in the region, for good reason too. The Geogians went into their soveriegn territory where people had acquired...
