This is unusual in that a News Limited paper has published an article in favour of the Resources Super Profits Tax and pointing out the twisting of the facts by the Minerals Council of Australia.

Behind the resource rent tax hysteria | David Buckingham | Commentary | Business Spectator
From Business Spectator. See the table showing how much better off many mining preojects would be under the RSPT. The spin and fear campaign by the Liberal Party and the big miners is disingenuous and full of blatant lies.

NEWSPOLL 52-48: RUDD VINDICATED | The Daily Bludge – Independent News
A good poll result for the government. News Corp and The Australian, in particular should be very embarrassed by their failing campaign against Labor. Also, the ABC is becoming more and more tabloid, picking up on the more sensationalist angle of Abbott “closing the gap” on Rudd as preferred Prime Minister. It’s the 2PP result that is the more important and worthy of highlighting.

V8 Supercar driver Mark Skaife calls for speed limit on Victorian freeways to be lifted to 140km/h | Courier Mail
Good call. The ridiculous obsession with an artificially low 100km/h speed limit on a good road like Eastlink or the M1 is more dangerous than a more sensible 130 – 140km/h limit.

Taskforce boss says schools stimulus a success - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
Big tick for the Labor Government’s Building the Education Revolution programme. It’s a shame the opposition won’t let the facts get in the way of a good beat up.

Book to reopen Liberal wounds | The Australian
Shitstorm, by Lenore Taylor and David Uren exposes the treachery and turmoil in the current federal Liberal Party.
Happy Refugee Week – The Stump
More hateful Liberal dirty tricks when it comes to asylum seekers. They really don’t mind the facts getting in the way of getting a few more redneck votes. The Liberals are utterly despicable and ill-named.

Vote Last Steve Fielding | Crikey
Definitely agree with this. Fielding is a shrill ninny who insists on having a disproportionate say on everything.
Abbott is Howard without pragmatism: MP
God, I hope the ALP retains office. A Liberal government with Tony Abbott as Prime Minister would be a social and economic disaster for Australia.
