Gone are the days of counting the calories, thank god. How many of you can relate to calculating every single thing that entered your mouth? It becomes draining, stressful, and then you end up bingeing on what you have deprived yourself of, you feel like shit, and end off in a worse position than you started. For me these days, it’s all about how much food I can get in. Ha, not quite, but not far off. My meals are all about how much goodness I can fit into one sitting. I crave nourishment. |

It is hard not to see massive fraud in the Stirton figures yesterday. By his own calculation the Labor vote among the 18-24 year olds could be 39.5 not 32. The Green vote could be 20.42 not 19. The Others might be 5.267 not 5. The Independents 4.3 not 4. This means the Labor vote, two party preferred, among 18-24 year olds, could be, just might be, 62 percent. Among the 25-39 year olds, 47 percent. Among the 40-54 year olds, 51 percent. Among the 55+ year olds, 42 percent. |

Filmed last month at TEDxUofT on entrepreneurial strategy. It reflects thinking about that topic that I have done with Fiona Murray and Scott Stern. Someone later suggested the title of the talk should have been “A Vision for Relief.” Here are some links to some of the topics touched on: |

I wrote a paper on cigarette smoking (with Bao Jia Tan) while at BEDA in Beijing in 2010 – here is a pre-print. While in China this time I have tried to argue the point with Chinese students that there was a strong case for increasing tobacco taxes in China and that this tax should be a specific rather than an ad valorem charge. I got sufficiently interested in clarifying my new arguments that I wrote them up (after discussing with Echo, Kening and Xixi) . Thoughts are preliminary. |

Recently I published a post suggesting that the performance of the Rudd/Gillard governments in policy terms was actually quite impressive. On the other hand, Julia Gillard’s ability to sell that message has been spectacularly poor, for a variety of reasons some of which I don’t even understand. Independent MP Tony Windsor made the same point on ABC Lateline last night: |
What does it take to create healthier environments for children?

I'm still off work, and will be for some more time yet. However I've been given leave back—I was using my personal leave to cover it—which is an acknowledgement from my greater workplace of the merit of my case for time away due to workplace injury. So that's pretty cool. And there is also now, as I understand it, an official acceptance that I will not go back to my oldwork. My case officers have been pretty cool as well; and they keep in touch to make sure I am still on track. |

I wrote a good while ago about the economics of doing well by doing good on the internet and when I received a curious email from someone with whom I was conducting a correspondence I decided to write the column below. I’ve just tried to find it on Google, and it seems I didn’t hoist it up here. So here, many months after its initial publication, it is: |

Morgan shows the women voting or preferring Labor now on 50. This will go up a bit after Bernardi’s latest go at homosexuals. And the under-25s vote, already underestimated by 8 percent, will be on about 58 after that, and the menu, and the army porn, and the Abbott abortion one-liners becoming known. A Labor landslide, as I told Phillip on Thursday. You wait and see. |

Nicola Roxon's valedictory speech in the house of Representatives is a strong affirmation of Labor values and an excellent summary of ALP achievements since the 2007 election.About the current state of politics:"We can't let the critics, the naysayers and the nasties define us," she said. "The truth is, we might be down, but we're not out."About Julia Gillard:"We have a capable, tough, determined, smart woman as prime minister, yet she has been subjected to some of the most crass, silly, petty, sexist and just plain rude behaviour for years."
