A broadband future in the balance
Alan Kohler, Election 2010
It's typical of an election – one party wins because the other side loses and then it gets to claim a mandate for all the policies that no one noticed or cared about. Thus it is with the NBN.
Abbott's NBN disengagement
Alan Kohler, Election 2010
Tony Abbott failed to communicate on communications yesterday, leaving everyone wondering about the future of the national broadband network under a coalition government.
Chinese medicine for the markets
Robert Gottliebsen
With the US bleeding and Europe treading water, it's all down to China, which needs to keep its growth rates above 8 per cent.
Pensions – tax by stealth
Robert Gottliebsen, Election 2010
Forget the spin – Labor government changes to age pension rules have made some pensioners the highest taxed group in the country.
Telstra's crucial plot turn
Stephen Bartholomeusz
Telstra's stale result today will disappoint some, but it is a vital chapter in David Thodey's NBN-changeover narrative. By investing in product and services delivery, the telco is hoping to write a happy ending.
CBA's murky underbelly
Stephen Bartholomeusz
There are already calls for a banking super profit tax after the Commonwealth Bank's record result, but closer inspection reveals that the earnings were mostly built on unsustainable first-half revenue.
Watching Qantas take off
Stephen Bartholomeusz
Having weathered a string of seriously damaging and uncontrollable storms, Qantas is finally enjoying a comfortable journey. It now has the capacity to fund its expansion and modernisation plans.
Stimulus superheroes
Karen Maley
As Wayne Swan and Warwick McKibbin grapple on the importance of the stimulus, the same debate is still raging in the US about Barack Obama's efforts to save jobs and boost GDP.
Abbott's poor parenting
Karen Maley, Election 2010
The Coalition's parental leave scheme is a blatant grab for female votes that will hurt business and can't be effectively implemented. It's surprising that this terrible policy hasn't yet been thoroughly unpicked.
One night in Rooty Hill won't kill you
Michael Gawenda, Election 2010
The Rooty Hill forum, while having short-comings, was a good moment in a campaign with not too many good moments. But no doubt its consequences will be fleeting.
Old, restless – and dangerous
Natasha Stott Despoja, Election 2010
Julia Gillard's reunion with Kevin Rudd and her run-in with Mark Latham, while reading like a soap opera, show the powerful impact former party leaders have on campaigns.
The bank profit masquerade
Steve Keen
The record profits being recorded by banks such as the Commonwealth Bank are a sign of economic sickness, not health.
CLIMATE SPECTATOR: Australia's carbon trap
Giles Parkinson
new report on Australia's power generation and associated greenhouse gas emissions suggests that Australia is both greener and dirtier at the same time.
