http://wellingtonhive.blogspot.com/2008/11/shift-to-right-continues.html
Nov 11, 2008. Shift To The Right Continues. It looks as though the right wing faction of the Labour are about to clean up the top jobs with news that a Goff/King ticket looks likely to be unopposed.

http://wellingtonhive.blogspot.com/2008/11/rudd-pumps-62-billion-of-australian.html
Nov 10, 2008. Rudd Pumps $6.2 Billion Of Australian Taxpayer Funds Into Auto Industry. The Australian taxpayers for their generosity.

If France can subsidise its industries why can't Australia? This also removes one of the comparative advantages that Australia had remaining after the global financial crisis began.
