Its blatant campaigning for a change of government that would be more aligned with the views of its owner, Rupert Murdoch, was just too obvious to take seriously but unfortunately a significant proportion of Australians actually think the agenda of the Oz is something other than neo-conservative right [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[David Mann&#8217;s article identifies the poverty of thinking in Gillard&#8217;s recent announcement of refugees arriving by boat. He points out that the so-called regional framework is hollow rhetoric and the &#8220;new&#8221; policy is remarkable similar to Howard&#8217;s infamous Pacific solution. It is clear that Gillard&#8217;s policy is an appeal to voters worried about the prospect [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ABC management, driven mostly by former Liberal Party staffer and businessman Mark Scott seems hell bent on imposing a technocratic regime on the public broadcaster. In many ways this amounts to privatisation by stealth and Scott&#8217;s successes are many and far reaching. While management has been able to argue that most of its decisions are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Michelle Grattan in her analysis of Gillard&#8217;s lurch to the right has concluded that the left wing of the ALP is dead. Interestingly, Gillard has got away with her asylum backflip within Labor Party ranks. Partly, it is that she is new; also, the election is so close. But the quietness shows as well that [...]]]></description>
