An email from my brother, back in Australia where the economy is going strong.
When he refers below to "the libs," that's actually our conservative party, who were in power under the very cleverly populist John Howard, from 1996 to 2007:
And a poll today (in the Terrorgraph!*) found that most people believe we would have done much worse in the Great Financial Crush if the libs were in. Their solution would have been to give billions to big business, run a scare campaign about black people + halve everyone's wages.
Not far off, I suspect.
*Terrorgraph = Telegraph, Sydney's News Corporation newspaper. As in the T-shirt, "Is that true, or did you read it in the Telegraph?"
