ANALYSIS & OPINION

  1. The tax debate

    Given the sullen and selfish mood voters have demonstrated in the past, they are likely to reject any real overhaul of superannuation or tax. And given the Government's recent record, it won't press the issue.
    By Mungo MacCallum

  2. Labor factions still rule

    Labor party renewal is still being stymied by factional cronyism, with men being put into safer seats and higher on senate tickets rather than equally qualified or sometimes even more talented women.
    By Paula Matthewson

  3. Small business fetish

    The planned tax cut for small business is a poor move that just further complicates the tax system, confuses sources of economic growth, and distracts policymakers from bigger issues.
    By Chris Berg

    When the review into business competition last week found our misuse of market power rules were deficient and should be tightened, the backlash from our business leaders wasn't entirely unexpected.
    By Ian Verrender
