Just How Angry Was Our Summer?
...a tendency to play down the subject ... and to pursue it most aggressively as a story about political divisiveness rather than one about national security mistakes and the lack of government transparency.Boston Bombings - More Concerns on Policy Reaction Article in Quadrant Online by Des Moore, 4 May 2013 The most important development (or, rather, lack thereof) since the bombings in Bostons is the paucity of coverage in Australian media of policy implications and mention of Muslim extremists. Material has been published here on the course of investigations by the FBI, now indicating that the younger bomber had friends. Jihad! What jihad? Article in Quadrant Online by Des Moore, 1 May 2013 In a recent Quadrant Online article, I suggested the initial reactions of government leaders and most media commentators to the Boston bombings had been to ignore or brush aside the wider policy implications for the West. I concluded, however, that a variety of policy actions could and should be taken without delay and the first of those must be to acknowledge that a problem exists. Climate queries? Ask a paleontologist Article in Quadrant Online by Des Moore, 10 April 2013 The attempt to portray a picture of ever-rising temperatures continues despite the absence of supporting evidence. It is typified by frequent references to purported and much-repeated "records, such as the hottest start to April for eight years and the supportive claims of experts with Nobel Laureate awards in a science, but not necessarily ones awarded for achievements in climate science. Was Our Summer Really Angry? Article in Quadrant Online by Des Moore, 12 March 2013 It is hardly surprising that the hot summer experienced in many parts of Australia has led our very own warmists to claim it confirmed the dangerous global warming threat of rising temperatures. While this claim has been widely reported in the media, including the ABC and The New York Times, as if it is factually correct, in reality the warmists have a problem. Obama, Iran and Islamic extremism Article in Quadrant Online by Des Moore, 31 October 2012 Whoever becomes the next President of the US is of considerable concern to Australia and other western countries because of the guardian role that country plays in defending our culture and, ultimately, our very existence. This is not to suggest that our American alliance is in any danger or that, if we faced a direct military threat, the next President of whatever political complexion would not do his utmost to provide military support. Time to embrace climate heresy? Article in Quadrant Online by Des Moore, 24 October 2012 The surprise improvement of two percentage points in Labors polling on a two-party preferred basis in the latest Nielsen poll, and the large improvement for Julia Gillard in the preferred prime minister stakes, has led some commentators to suggest the carbon tax is no longer a major political issue. Given that the imposition of the tax has been Tony Abbotts principal attack dog, he is now, it is suggested, on the back foot. Soft words for hard-core Islam Article in Quadrant Online by Des Moore, 6 October 2012 Is the debate about the world-wide Muslim protests over, and can Western nations now be comforted by the heavy concentration of such protests in Muslim countries and, in Australia (and possibly other countries too), by the preparedness of leaders of Islamic communities to cooperate with the police in persuading their members not to have a second go? Equally important, how do we assess the response of Western governments to the protests and subsequent developments? Omens of an early poll Article in Quadrant Online by Des Moore, 15 September 2012 On September 3, Quadrant Online published my note suggesting the possibility of an early election with Swan leading Labor. Developments since then seem to have supported my thesis. An early election? Article in Quadrant Online by Des Moore, 3 September 2012 Last Fridays column by Age political correspondent Michelle Grattan started as follows: You would think the election was next month, rather than next year. The government is rushing out multibillion-dollar policies to tempt voters, while it also tries to sweep away problems. Then on Saturday, Christopher Pearson wrote in The Australian it is clear that in recent weeks that we are seeing a clearing of the decks in anticipation of a Kevin Rudd challenge.

Olympian effort, but the numbers are all Greek Why Australia Can Run an Independent Monetary Policy (22/5/00) While monetary and fiscal policies remain responsible, Australia should not have to follow US in raising interest rates. The 36 -hour war (5/4/00) The Union campaign for the 36 hour week is a disguised claim for higher rates of pay thathe will add to costs and deter employment High Skills Don't Always Mean More Jobs (24/2/00) Labor's employment policy, Workforce 2010 neglects the need to deregulate the labor market and is a poor attempt at an employment policy.The Falsehoods Behind The Union Offensive (18/2/00) The ACTU is masterminding a campaign against enterprise and individual bargaining by a falsely based case that argues the need for regulation to improve job security and reduce casual jobs. September Accounts Confirm Slow-Down - And No Inflation Threat (21/12/99) The Spetember quarter GDP and inflation figures do not suggest faster growing demand or inflationary pressures that will require increased interest rates. Oh what a marvellous mirage! (16/12/99) Explains why Australia's unemployment rate has not really improved. Workplace Reform - A New Approach (9/12/99) Deregulating the workplace needn't hurt low-income earners. Sunday Age Debate (28/11/99) Arguments for and against abolishing the Australian Industrial Relations Commission. More Police? The Numbers Don't Add Up. (21/10/99) Victoria does not need any substantial increase in police numbers, but it does need to change constraints in implementing the law placed by central command on police officers. The Reform Song Remains the Same (27/9/99) Points out that suggestions that the Victorian Election Result will prevent further reform need to take account of several factors including Victoria's high taxes and the need to improve competitiveness. Reforms to Victoria's Education System (8/9/99) Under the Kennett government, productivity has been increased by raising average class sizes and average school sizes to the average in other states. There has also been some decentralisation of control but truly self-governing schools need to be established. Victorian Police - The Real Problem (8/9/99) Two major recent failures of Victorian policing policy reflect deficient central command policies rather than shortages of police. One quarter's figures a trend doth not make (6/9/99) Is the June quarter seasonally adjusted increase of only 0.2 per cent in GDP the start of the much anticipated slow-down or simply a pause in the strong growth of recent years? Monetary Policy: Is it really worth it? (12/8/99) Increasing difficulties of predicting inflation raise questions about the role of monetary policy. Queensland Takes A Backward Step (9/6/99) The substantial increase in regulation of employer/employee reations proposed in changes to Queenslands Industrial Relations legislation run counter to the new paradigm in economics and will discourage investment and employment. Plans for low-income earners not perfect (2/6/99) There are many problems with the proposal by the five economists to reduce unemployment by suspending "safety net" wage rises for four years while compensating low wage earners in low income households for loss of earnings through tax credits. If tax credits are to be introduced, why not do it as part of a deregulation "package"? (For a response to this article, see "Trade-off gives credit to those who just want to work") Crowds run riot as police find the force is not with them (7/5/99). Over recent weeks controversy has erupted in several States over police failure to control crowds and gangs and adequately protect the legitimate interests of those being subjected to protests. These failures follow the generally poor performance of police in handling last year's waterfront dispute. The Police Numbers Game (20/4/99). Contrary to media stories and Labor's statements, the Victorian government is providing a police service above the average standard and above NSW levels. Head to Head: Should the government privatise caravan parks? (14/4/99). Opposition Environment Spokesperson, Sherryl Garbutt argues against privatisation of caravan parks but Des Moore argues this is a classic example of why it is needed! Why police now use only "minimal" force (10/4/99). Discusses police claims that they are now using minimal force because of fears that they will be subject to civil damages claims. Argues that the Government needs to take action to ensure that police will act to protect the rights of those threatened by crowds/pickets, etc. Face up to this mob (Herald Sun, 29/3/99). Suggests that Jabiluka Action Group may have been captured by Socialist Alternative, a Trotskyist outfit and discusses Victorian policing policy US style deregulation — no worries! (The Australian Financial Review, 10/2/99). Many analysts of Australia's high unemployment point to the greater income inequality and perceived high proportion of 'working poor' in the US as reasons for rejecting labour market deregulation here. Some also dismiss US success: "the jobs are low paid, insecure and long hours"........ The case for further deregulation of the labour market (The Australian Financial Review, 27/11/98). |
