Gobsmacking hypocrisy.

Let's face it, both Abbott and the Murdoch media are tired of being called on their bullshit - and the ABC is the only MSM agent doing that job.

We knew an Abbott government was going to be bad, but even the most pessimistic couldn't have envisaged the absolute debacle unfolding before our eyes.

The inconsistent messaging of the government re financial aid to business is all over the place.

Won't fund holden, we lose 5,000 jobs - it's not the government's job to make business profitable. But we'll give money to a Cadbury factory because it's a tourism thing, but we won't contribute to a fruit cannery because Coca-Cola Amatil make a big profit (the CCA proposal was that they'd invest 160m if the govt would chip in 25m), but we will fund farmers through a drought (on average carrying 2mil in debt I heard on QandA) because they're doing it tough (no reference to the fruit farmers in the riverina who will go bankrupt if the SPC cannery closes). But we'll keep subsidising coal mining, and here's 20milin vouchers for relationship counselling.

A dartboard would make more sense.

Mining gets in excess of $4B in fuel subsidies. Because Gina just isn't making enough money.

@Wilso,

I think they want increased unemployment so that workers will accept lower wages for jobs - Gina has already expressed an interest in paying her workers $2 a day.

@hingehead,

Good stuff on SPC. Of course, Abbott will never let facts get in the way of propaganda, with Murdoch's able assistance

@dlowan,

Pretty impressed with Charmin Stone (sp?) - clearly doesn't want to become the Sophie Mirabella of the Riverina.

@hingehead,

Just in case you didn't follow this link http://serco-story.theglobalmail.org/ here's the intro:

Quote:

At Work Inside Our Detention Centres:
A Guard’s Story

This is a first-hand account of life inside an Australian immigration detention facility, told from the perspective of a former employee of Serco, the ubiquitous multinational service provider that runs the nation’s onshore centres.

Realised in a comic-book style and drawn from exclusive interviews and diary entries from the ex-employee, A Guard’s Story offers rare insight into how Australia’s outsourced detention facilities are run.

Like all Serco employees, our informant signed a confidentiality agreement and has taken a significant personal risk by talking to us.

Prior to being employed by Serco, our source was sympathetic to the plight of asylum seekers in Australia’s detention facilities and took on a job as a “client support worker” to try to help people from inside the system.

What follows is our source’s experience, illustrated.

And some sample artwork.

They keep saying that there will be better jobs. How? Is the jobs fairy going to provide them? I don't see any sign of a plan.

@Wilso,

And they're killing funding to the bodies that provide seed funding to possible industrial futures, like the Clean Energy Fund.

Seriously, it's hard not to see rising unemployment and increasing job insecurity as the current government's strategy for softening us up for labour reform as demanded by their business sponsors.

As some clever dude retweeted this morning:

'Super fast internet, science, education will drive digitalisation & innovation in the 21st century'

Tony: We'll dig more rocks thanks.
