@dyrenfurth Jacques was a wonderful man.

@frankenfurter__ @KosSamaras That was the Liberals who let in nearly a million temporary workers who were not unionised. That's the problem. Anyway we are short of key workers - building trades, nurses and teachers

[Janet McCalman @JanetMccalman]

@JonPiccini So you'd like the coalition back?

[Janet McCalman @JanetMccalman]

@KosSamaras YES!!

@KosSamaras GREEDY GREENS

@messycables1 @ProfPCDoherty The teals are in a way, even less accountable because they are not party of an organised institution that concentrates rank and file ideas and aspirations. It seems to work in a wealthy electorate like Kooyong. Very different in the big outside world.

@ProfPCDoherty @KEVINODRISCOLL6 Labor has changed. You'd be amazed once you were inside.

[Janet McCalman @JanetMccalman]

@ProfPCDoherty @chequers7 There is a fundamental divide in society - capital and labour - and our party system reflects that.

[Janet McCalman @JanetMccalman]

@ProfPCDoherty Coalition governments, as we see in Europe, are even more unstable, and the backroom dealing is corrupting. It is not a recipe for political reform. History shows that. Surely the upper house diversity is more than enough?

The legendary chief of Saudi Intelligence Turki -Al- Faisal could not have said it better. Worth a listen

In my new paper, I introduce a new economics of the common good, one where ‘how’ we achieve collective goals matters as much as the destination itself.

@JonPiccini And who will pay for roads and charging stations if EV drivers free-load on everyone else?

[Janet McCalman @JanetMccalman]

@redrabbleroz Spot on Osmond. Govts need to subsidise the making of EVs to get it all started, and indeed China is doing that. This is so selfish and short-sighted.

[Janet McCalman @JanetMccalman]

@KosSamaras Spot on Kos. Have just worked through Vic voting by booth. It is a class vote from top to bottom, and we got it wrong. The misinformation came from us as well as the Trumpists. A middle class Labor party is as cloth eared as the Greens.

@lesstenny Whitlam was not 'hard left'. Green fantasy political history.
