Both sides of politics have an interest in pretending Australian prosperity was their handiwork. But before long, global headwinds will reveal Australia’s true position.
Reports by the Parliamentary Budget Office and Treasury confirmed Labor has blown out a structural budget deficit that began under John Howard's government, and the next government has quite a job on its hands.
ANZ Banking Group may be keen to adopt the IBM Watson's big data technology but is the bank falling for a 'smoke and mirrors' trick.

This week China has outlined details of its first carbon trading scheme while its National Development and Reform Commission has recommended an absolute cap on emissions. The moves represent major signs of progress.

Comments on this article
Comments PolicyI think that climate change and global warming is a complete scam for a world tax and the establishment of a one world government.
(See Bolstering Barack, December 9).
I address the author Giles Parkinson: Why have you not reported on the actual treaty that is potentially going to be signed at Copenhagen?
That is what is really important. Are you, aware of the implications such a treaty will have on democracy of Australia and all the world?
The power that this treaty gives the governing bodies is enormous and in fact more power than any single government has anywhere in the world.
There is no talk anywhere in this treaty of voting or democracy – it is a dictatorship.
Also, why have you not reported on the 31,000 US scientists that have signed a petition over the past two months that states that they are completely against Copenhagen? They also all claim that there is no evidence that indicates that global warming is caused by carbon emissions from mankind.
The truth is that many of these world leaders in the US and our own country want an emissions scheme to go through so that they can introduce a heavy tax and bring in a dictatorship.
This is no light matter and all I can say is that I am pretty sure Tony Abbott is well aware of this and is one of the only men in parliament that could not be bought out.
Did the WMO specify when Australia had its warmest, second and current third warmest weather? My recollection of hottest day at Nobby's (Newcastle) was 56 years ago (3pm, 13 December 1953) when it reached 45 degrees celsius during a very hot summer. I wonder if they recognise 1953?
So the EPA is now claiming clouds are a danger to public health. (See Bolstering Barack, December 9).
The dominant greenhouse gas is water vapour and clouds are made of water vapour. The EPA also appears to be glossing over the fact that without the insulating effect of greenhouse gases the earth would be far less habitable than it currently is.
