The Hamster Decides last night gave a good, if rapid, overview starting about 14 minutes in http://www.abc.net.au/iview/#/view/41749 at 17:40 Craig Reucassel claims that the coalition policy is three quarters the cost of labor but one tenth the speed. Turnbull then claims the cost under labor will actually be $50billion more, so Craig then says: so it's one third the cost, but one tenth the speed. Craig departs screen left looking somewhat unimpressed. The takeaway message at the end (starting at 18:50) was: The choice is simple: Under Labor you can slowly get a quick system that is expensive or Under the coalition you can quickly get a slow system that is cheap now but expensive later. ... and Anthony Albanese is made to look technologically inept. -- Regards brd Bernard Robertson-Dunn Sydney Australia email: [email protected] web: www.drbrd.com web: www.problemsfirst.com Blog: www.problemsfirst.com/blog _______________________________________________ Link mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
