By Leith van Onselen SQM Research last week released incredibly superficial and misleading analysis of Labor’s negative gearing policy (debunked here), which received widespread mainstream media attention and was greeted with headlines warning that dwelling values would plummet and rents would skyrocket under Labor’s policy. The most egregious aspect of SQM’s analysis was its rewriting of The post What really happened to rents when negative gearing was abolished? appeared first on MacroBusiness.

At the end of Saturday night I had a list of seven seats which I hadn’t called. I have now done some further analysis with the extra votes that have reported today, and I am now ready to call a couple more seats and provide an analysis of the state of the count. I have run through in detail the state of the count in Coogee, Dubbo, East Hills and Upper Hunter. I am ready to call Upper Hunter for the Nationals. My projections suggest that Coogee will go to Labor and Dubbo and East Hills will go to the Coalition, but I will wait for more results before calling either of them. |

Ok, first things first.

For two years from May 1987 Tony Fitzgerald QC turned a spotlight and then a fire hose on the corrupt Queensland Country Party regime of Joh Bjelke-Peterson, his henchmen and his blue-uniformed partners in crime.

I’ve complained in the past about the fact that writers in newspapers and magazines generally don’t get to choose their headlines. I’ve read that this is a hangover from the days of hot metal typesetting, when the headline had to be chosen to fit the layout of the paper, determined at the last minute by the sub-editors. Whatever the case, the tradition has endured. |

This is the first of a number of blog posts I’ll be rolling out over today and tomorrow. I thought I’d start by attempting to map out the swings. This is a difficult task because quite a lot of votes (mostly pre-poll votes) haven’t been counted yet. So for my first set of maps I have used the estimated 2CP swings and 2CP margins in each seat calculated by Antony Green’s ABC model. |

Ari Fleischer, the former White House Press Secretary under President George W. Bush, ignited a firestorm of controversy Wednesday when, while commenting on the 16th anniversary of the U.S invasion of Iraq, he sought to defend the reputation of his boss when it came to the veracity of the claims about Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) that underpinned President Bush’s case for war. |

Boris Johnson recently had his hair cut short. In the past few weeks, he has visibly lost weight. He has even learned to hold his tongue. When the former British foreign secretary left parliament in Westminster last Tuesday, he was, as always, confronted by journalists. But the man who otherwise never avoids a microphone pushed his ski hat down and walked off. |
