In the Herald-Sun (14/1/19) Prime Minister, Scott Morrison claims to stand for “A fair go for all Aussies”. But how does it relate to Liberal policy in practice? We should build a society where everyone has a roof over their head, access to transport, and a nutritious diet for themselves and their children. Where no-one… The post What’s at stake in the election? appeared first on The AIM Network. |

A stalemate of sorts has developed in Venezuela. The pretender, Juan Guaidó, as head of the opposition-controlled National Assembly, continues as faux interim president, noisier than ever, but no more effectual than the time he declared his intentions to overthrow the incumbent. President Nicolás Maduro, despite winning in 2018, is still cited as the illegitimate… The post Irresponsible Protections: Venezuela and Foreign Intervention appeared first on The AIM Network. |

Nominations for the federal election will close tomorrow, with those nominations being announced on Wednesday, when the ballot draws will be conducted. We should have the final list of candidates in ballot order by the end of Wednesday. I’ll do a blog post on Thursday morning with the final nominations information. I have been regularly updating a list of federal candidates with the help of Nick Casmirri and a bunch of commenters (thanks to you all). I thought I’d drop back onto the blog and give you an update on where we are up to in terms of candidate numbers. |

If ever there was a case for fake news being fake, it was the post-Mueller report hot takes that emerged on Thursday. Just when you thought things couldn’t get any more embarrassing for the purveyors of the Russiagate hoax, the Fourth Estate outdid itself by doubling down on the Russian collusion narrative with the tenacity of Jack from The Titanic clinging to the wooden door. |

Easter with interruptions for religious observation has certainly dampened the campaigning of both sides. However, Saturday certainly saw a revitalised Bill Shorten but it seemed that just as he was getting on top it was Sunday.

“In climate change, there will never be enough figures to satisfy the climate sceptics. If you don’t believe in the science of climate change, no amount of evidence will ever convince you because, fundamentally, it’s a stupid position not to take action,” Labor’s leader squelches a popular press narrative in Darwin Tuesday.

That is the question that Dina Srinivasan answers in the affirmative in her paper “The Antitrust Case Against Facebook.” This is an interesting set of issues because, frankly, my observation is that Facebook, while having a dominant position in social media (which is not an antitrust violation) had not violated antitrust law getting to that position and did not appear to be violating antitrust law when it got there. |

The richly disastrous mess that is Libya has been moving into another phase of inspired aggression at the hands of General Khalifa Haftar.

I noticed an interesting headline in an ABC story: “Climate change costings a cause for concern as Coalition ups its attack on Labor’s commitments” Now, I don’t know if you’ll think that I’m just being obsessed about semantics, but I do think that it’s a fair point to make. Labor’s policy aren’t ‘climate change costings”;… The post Climate Change Is A Cost! appeared first on The AIM Network. |
