More muck on Murdoch.

Come on Labor – amplify the link between Murdoch and the local media so that punters are left in no doubt.

Labor deserves everything it gets. No one forced a gun to their heads and made them promise a surplus over 500 times. Gillard and swan also deserve to lose because of their incompetence, ineptitude and lying.

The !surplus’ is a political obsession. It has no resonance outside of Canberra horse race commentary
circles or the shrill inward looking, economically ignorant partisans on blogs such as this.”

Mr Denmore

Quiet right.

And our national private debt shows that the vast majority of Aussies are quite comfortable living within a deficit realm, facilitated of course by their credit cards and the lenders who happily allowed them to commit to huge monthly mortgage payments.

On a much ore serious note, I don’t know if you’ve read last night’s discussions here, but it is an open secret in Cambra that when the leadership coup is executed early next Monday morning, the new PM Janette Saffon will commit Labor to having no surplus until 2037. She is going to make that a law, L-A-W.

I have several close friends in the PM’s office who have leaked this to me.

This sounds familiar.

The Daily Mirror’s headline on Friday.
Prime minister David Cameron might have enjoyed his national newspaper coverage this morning. It was predictable that his opposition to statutory underpinning for a new press regulator would be greeted by headlines in his favour.

Three examples: Cam showdown to save our free press (The Sun), Cameron refuses to introduce press laws (Daily Telegraph) and Cameron fights for press freedom (Daily Express). The Daily Mirror, no friend of Cameron, portrays him in its headline as a champion of freedom: PM faces Commons battle to stop newspapers being shackled by tougher law.

The SMH used to be OK for a quick look at the main page for the latest news. The new format is crap and seems designed for max hits. It really has an unattractive look in my opinion. More and more right wing rubbish. Fail!

Morning dear ones. I was perusing the posts, wanted to comment on this and that of moment. Unfortunately, the log on put me back to page one. So lost my train of thought.

But never mind that. I see from the recents that the naysayers are back. I would like to offer you an incidental note of appreciation for adding to William’s worth in the eyes of Crikey.
