It has been noticeable in certain states for a while, but clearly has not been factored into where the LNP is wanting to take welfare support. Essentially Abbott's budgetary measures against the unemployed, due for July, have strong probability of corresponding to a higher rate of unemployed.

Whenever I come across Chris Berg's columns in The Drum I find them so mendacious (meretricious?), so poorly argued, so lacking in reason or logic, that I long ago decided to give them the flick. I know it is one's duty to know the enemy (and Berg and his IPA mates are the enemies of anything that even smacks of human decency, let alone more noble qualities such as compassion) but I cannot be bothered to read through the silly polemic that Berg seems to imagine constitutes reasoned argument. The IPA is a canker in Australian life and the fact that the Abbott Govt has sold its soul to this organisation makes me wonder whether the Liberal Party is in a state of terminal paralysis. You mentioned Dutton is your column; I recently had dealings with this automaton and I can only but wonder at the lack of talent in the Liberals that allows an amoral colourless ideologue like this on the front bench.vadinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22534369.post-68224844586493152772014-08-06T08:09:29.532+10:002014-08-06T08:09:29.532+10:00Well, you did warn Mr Berg that Tony Abbott would ...Well, you did warn Mr Berg that Tony Abbott would never be much good as PM.<br /><br />I hit the reject button when I see an article by Mr Berg. <br /><br />I first read an article by Mr Berg in the Ethics and Philosophy section on the ABC Online (well may one's jaw drop at the thought) - as philosophy, it was worthless. <br /><br />When I saw a headline for one of his recent articles on "The Drum" claiming that Joe Hockey was a moderate; my reaction was to sneer and think: "a moderate compared with whom?". <br /><br />I'm still trying to fathom why the ABC allows members of the IPA, who actively advocate the destruction of the nation's public broadcaster, to broadcast their views on the ABC. Yet the IPA and their supporters claim that the ABC is unbalanced.
