Australia's Finest: Captain Gordon Phillips

What a great LIFE / story!!! Congratulations Captain Gordon Phillips.

Small piece of Australian aviation history ends with retirement of Captain Gordon Phillips

HENRY BUDD

June 29 2013

WHEN Captain Gordon Phillips stepped out of his Qantas A380 cockpit in Sydney on Wednesday morning, a small piece of Australian aviation history came to end.

The moment marked the end of an incredible 45-year career for Capt Phillips who, until that moment, was the longest-serving Qantas pilot still in the job.

Capt Phillips, 64, was given a rousing cheer by his passengers as he completed his final flight, ending a remarkable journey that began as a teenager on a farm in Swan Hill, Victoria.

With a childhood dream to fly, the then 16-year-old applied for both the air force and Qantas, which had just begun its cadet program. He was accepted into both, but chose the civilian route.

The following year he relocated to Sydney to begin training at Mascot and less than two years later was presented with his wings by the then Governor-General Lord Richard Casey at a ceremony inside a Qantas hangar at Sydney airport.

 But instead of flying Qantas passenger planes, the 20 graduates first had to get some experience, with Capt Phillips picking up work for a company in the Solomon Islands, flying in and out of jungle airstrips, many cut during WWII.

For a young man from rural Victoria who had never left Australia it was the experience of a lifetime - flying small aircraft into remote airstrips and soaking up the island life.

"That time is still a very precious part of my career," he said yesterday.

After 14 months, Capt Phillips returned to Australia and began training to fly Qantas' flagship Boeing 707, a four-engine jet aircraft larger and more powerful than anything he had flown before.

"It was pretty exciting and a bit scary for guys who had been flying around in light aircraft," he said. 

His first commercial flight for Qantas was to London as a second officer in training. That was in May, 1970, an era when pilots were globetrotters.

"I don't think my colleagues believe. A typical London trip was nine or 10 days, 16 legs," he said.

"We would do something like Sydney-Bali-Singapore. Overnight (in Singapore) then do Singapore-Kuala Lumpur-Colombo-Bahrain. Then maybe Bahrain-Istanbul-Rome and London." 

Out of the scores of places he has flown to, Capt Phillips listed Bermuda at the top.

"We didn't have long there, but we would jump on our pedalos (pedal-start motorbikes) and race around the island. It was a different atmosphere out there. You could almost feel the pirate ships in the coves," he said.

Over the following 33 years, Capt Phillips flew Boeing 747s, 767s and 747-400s before making the switch to the giant Airbus A380 five years ago - a plane with technology that was unimaginable when he began flying. 

In his 45 years as an aviator, Capt Philips has flown the equivalent of 400 laps of the globe and carried just under a million passengers.



With such a long record, he was bound to have had a few hair-raising mid-air moments.

He said he had experienced his fair share of "lost" engines - an event he describes as an "inconvenience".

"I've been on flights where we've had to shut engines down or they have failed. It's what we train for," he said.

With his 65th birthday looming in February - the age at which international pilots must retire - Capt Phillips made the decision to give up the life of a pilot.

He made his final trip to London and back this month with his wife, Ruth, joining him for the entire journey.
Before he left Dubai to fly into Sydney he was surprised by his son Alexander, who flies for Shenzhen Airlines in China and will soon follow in his dad's footsteps and become a Qantas pilot.

How many of these Godless Savages.......

How many of these Godless Savages.......

 ....have these Godless savages imported into Australia ?

The  Dollar – and the USA – is Toast
Exclusive: Lord Monckton sees China prepping for final collapse of America

WND

Obama has done it. He has brought America down. It only took him just over four years. The Republicans could have stopped him. They didn’t.

How did the nihilistic left succeed in destroying America? Simple. They learned just a little of the capitalism they hate, and they drove your nation into outright bankruptcy.

And here is what the GOP has to say about it: just about nothing.

The once-mighty United States is now the most indebted nation on Earth. In round numbers, here are just some of the vital statistics as the patient dies:

National debt: $17 trillion, or $50,000 per man, woman and child, or $150,000 per taxpayer. Annual federal deficit: $1 trillion. Medicare/Medicaid/Obama”care”: $1 trillion a year. Social Security: another $1 trillion a year. Defense: two-thirds of a trillion. Unemployment handouts: $2 billion per working day. Debt interest: $1 billion per working day. Federal pensions, ditto.

Now for the big numbers. Your government’s Social Security liability is as big as the national debt: $17 trillion. Its prescription drug liability is $22 trillion. Then there’s the Medicare liability of $86 trillion. Total unfunded liabilities of the U.S. government are $125 trillion.

Radio 2gb's Brian Wilshire speaks with Lord Christopher Monckton about China prepping for the final collapse of America. 

Net assets for each U.S. citizen are $300,000. The net liability of the U.S. government, shared among its citizens, amounts to almost four times that: $1.1 million a head. And the government’s debt is growing at $1 million every 45 seconds. To cover its annual deficit, it is printing $1 trillion a year of currency that is not backed by any asset whatsoever.

Here is what will happen next. When the crash comes, don’t say you weren’t given fair and clear warning.

First, the dollar will cease – no, make that “is already ceasing” – to be the world’s reserve currency. China, as I have been warning you she would, has realized the dollar is finished. So she is quietly making startling progress with bilateral and multilateral deals to replace the dollar with the yuan as the world’s currency of choice.

Sterling, once the world’s reserve currency, went precisely the same way in 1967 under orders from Moscow, which then largely controlled the governing Socialist Labor party in Britain.

After the Second World War, the Socialist/Communist governments of Attlee and Wilson bankrupted Britain with health-care and welfare programs and nationalization of industries. Inflation rose to 27 percent.

Obama’s copycat policies are different in only one respect. Moscow is no longer calling the shots. International totalitarianism no longer needs direction. Its cruel, hate-filled, destructive mission now advances on autopilot.

Watch some of the straws in the wind. China and Korea have come to a little-noticed agreement that international trade between them will no longer be denominated in U.S. dollars, but in yuan, or Won.

Checking China's Economic Pulse

Behind the closed mahogany doors of the world’s finance houses, elaborate and secret preparations are being made for the upheaval and international financial collapse that will follow the deliberate printing-out and consequent implosion of the dollar.

Your GOP representatives should be, but are not, asking the administration to reveal to them the ever-tougher terms on which the Chinese continue – with ever-greater reluctance –to lend money to keep their communist ally in the White House afloat.

Do not believe China cannot afford to let her biggest creditor fail. She can, she will, and she is making careful preparations to do just that.

If you thought the crash of 2008 was bad, think again. The crash that is coming –I cannot put a date on it, but it is not far away now – will be orders of magnitude worse.

So, what should you do to protect yourself and your family? First, get rid of every dollar you have. Dollars are now all but worthless. When the crash comes, they will have no value at all.

In hard times, most financial instruments – currencies, stocks, bonds – are not worth the paper they are printed on. Get rid of them now. Buy silver coins. They will quintuple in price once the crash sets in, and they are small enough to be fungible when the dollar dies.

Buy land, some of it well-wooded, some of it arable, some of it grassland. You will need the timber to power your steam tractor. Gasoline will be a costly rarity. And make sure you can defend yourselves. Starving mobs are no respecters of persons. Do what the Mormons do: Get three months’ supply of imperishable foodstuffs and hide them in the basement.

Absurd though this advice may now seem, there is a real danger that the crash will sudden. If so – perhaps for several months, and even for years – the fabric of civilization, including the food-supply chain, will fail.

It is not my custom to write in millenarian or apocalyptic terms. But the very best that can be said for your current administration is that it simply has no idea what damage it is doing. It is printing money in the vain hope of buying itself time. Yet every fake dollar that comes off the printing-presses makes the problem worse and the solution harder.

At worst, what is now happening to your nation may be deliberate. In that event, your current “president” will go down as history’s greatest villain. In any event, he will go down as history’s greatest incompetent.

Do not believe none of this can happen. Psychiatrists study what they call “normalcy bias.” People expect that everything will carry on and that America is too big to fail. She is not. She has failed. You will pay a heavy price for her failure, unless you act now to defend yourselves against what your government, with the culpable, silent acquiescence of the GOP, is doing to destroy your nation.

Finally, pray. God bless America. It has been nice knowing you. Only when you are gone will the world realize how much it misses you, and – paradoxically – how much it owes you.

Australian Woman Gang Raped then Jailed for 8 months in The United Arab Emirates

A million Australians will fly into Dubai in the coming year,don't get off the plane before you see this.

Sunday May 12, 2013

Reporter: Ross Coulthart

Producer: Ali Russell

With Dubai emerging as a major stopover point for long haul journeys, five hundred flights a month will deliver over one million of us to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the next year.

Dubai is being promoted as a luxury high-class paradise in the desert, but the reality is brutally different, as Australian Alicia Gali discovered. Gali took a job in the UAE with one of the world’s biggest hotel chains, Starwood. What happened next makes this story a must-watch for every Australian planning on travelling through the region.

Gali was using her laptop in the hotel’s staff bar when her drink was spiked. She awoke to a nightmare beyond belief: she had been savagely raped by three of her colleagues. Alone and frightened, she took herself to hospital. What Alicia didn’t know is that under the UAE’s strict sharia laws, if the perpetrator does not confess, a rapist cannot be convicted without four adult Muslim male witnesses. She was charged with having illicit sex outside marriage, and thrown in a filthy jail cell for eight months.

Now, finally home and struggling to move on with her life, Alicia breaks her silence for the first time on television to reporter Ross Coulthart.

For more information on human rights in the UAE, go to Human Rights Watch or Amnesty International.

Sunday Night emailed Alicia's employer in the UAE, Starwood Hotels, with a detailed list of questions pertaining to her case. This was their response:

“What happened in June 2008 to Alicia Gali, a former employee of Le Méridien Al Aqah hotel, was deplorable. While the hotel worked diligently on Ms. Gali’s behalf, the authorities investigated and prosecuted Ms. Gali under the local laws. Additionally, the men involved were also prosecuted and each served prison terms before being deported. As for Ms. Gali’s lawsuit against the hotel, we disagree with the allegations.

The hotel management provided support and assistance to Ms. Gali and her family throughout that time, 

including assisting with medical support and the investigation, liaising with her representative Australian embassy and coordinating and arranging affairs with her family in Australia.

Starwood’s repeated approaches to discuss Ms. Gali's claim with her attorneys have been ignored and declined. As this matter is part of an open on-going Starwood investigation and litigation commenced by Ms. Gali against Starwood and the Commonwealth of Australia, we cannot comment further at this time.

The safety and security of our associates and guests continues to be a paramount priority.”

We also contacted the Australian government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) with a detailed list of questions regarding Alicia’s case. This was their response:

"The Department rejects Ms Gali’s account of her dealings with the Australian Consulate in Dubai, as suggested in your letter of 7 May 2013. Ms Gali was provided with extensive consular assistance by the Australian Consulate in Dubai. Our consular officers do not give legal advice, but do assist Australians in trouble to obtain local legal advice.

As this matter is subject to ongoing legal proceedings, the Department is unable to respond to the questions raised in your letter or participate in the Sunday Night program. The Department will present its position as necessary during the course of the legal proceedings."

Labor's Green Loon supporters and their Anti Immunisation DEATH WISH

Immunisation debate splits communities

Jane Hansen 
The Sunday Telegraph 
May 12, 2013 12:00AM

IT'S A tale of two country towns. Both are set in rolling green hills, both have populations of a few thousand and each has a unique position on the state's immunisation table.

Bargo, in the southern highlands, has the highest immunisation rate at 100 per cent, according to the National Health Performance Review.

Mullumbimby, on the far north coast, has a level of just 46 per cent, giving it the lowest rate in the state.

With every child in the 4000-strong community of Bargo immunised against potential killers such as measles, chickenpox and whooping cough, the worst affliction a child is likely to suffer is the common cold.

Bargo's GP, Dr Tim Rankin, said the town's immunisation compliance was so high because his staff tracked down those parents who had forgotten or postponed scheduled shots for their kids.

"The credit goes to my staff, we chase them down and keep harassing them until they come in," Dr Rankin said.

"We've had some adults with whooping cough, but no child and no measles since 1985," he said.

Carolyn McCorkell, who runs the Bargo Child Care Centre, said: "We don't get outbreaks of childhood disease - no whooping cough, not chickenpox - the kids get an occasional cold, but nothing major."

Katrina Lindley, who is raising her children Jayden, 4, and Tenille, 7, in Bargo, said she is proud the town is so vigilant in battling childhood diseases.

"It's a great thing we have such a high immunisation rate because it makes the younger kids safer, those who are too young to be immunised," Mrs Lindley, 39, said.

"It's just responsible parenting, you have to protect your children, and the effects of immunisation far outweigh the risk."

But in Mullumbimby, with a population of 3000, the unvaccinated children actually outnumber those who have been immunised and the issue divides the community.

The same whooping cough outbreak that Bargo escaped claimed the lives of four-week-old Dana McCaffery, who died in 2009, and nine-week-old Kailis Smith, who died in 2011. Both babies lived near Mullumbimby.

The town recorded an infection rate four times the state average at the beginning of the epidemic in 2008-09.

Local parents said there was a lot of fear and pressure around the issue of immunisation, and the town's homeopath said his professional association had forbidden him to speak on the issue because it was too "controversial".

Dani Ilic's daughter Remy was born in the middle of the 2009 whooping cough epidemic and the death of Dana McCaffery changed her mind on immunisation.

"We just didn't think it was worth going through that epidemic if it could be bypassed by immunisation," she said, adding she is in the minority among her friends.

Sheia Kironn is a mother of two and she not only refuses vaccinations for her children, but she has never used antibiotics on them either.

"I never use pharmaceuticals, we use Chinese herbal medicine," Ms Kironn said, adding she was not surprised her town had fewer vaccinated children than unvaccinated.

"I don't know anyone who vaccinates their kids and most people who don't vaccinate are well educated," she said.

Jacob Johnson, 27, said his parents chose not to immunise him, so he made the same decision for his two-year-old daughter Nimawai.

"I wasn't vaccinated and I've done my own research and come to the conclusion it's not necessary. A strong immune system is a priority," he said. "We do homeopathic vaccination and my friends who vaccinate, their kids are always sick."

He disagreed it was an irresponsible decision.

"I don't think it's irresponsible, I think everyone has the right to their own choice," Mr Johnson said.

Mother-of-three Sam Leader vaccinates her children and said the issue divided the town.

"There is a lot of scaremongering but I believe in science and the evidence," Ms Leader, a writer, said.

Jade Coy only partially vaccinated her children Aziah, 3, and Sascha, seven months, and refused to give them the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine out of fear.

"I went online and read blogs and my brother-in-law swears the vaccination gave his daughter autism," Ms Coy said.

The now-debunked link between autism and vaccination is much publicised by the local anti-vaccination group, the AVN, but the research done 15 years ago by Andrew Wakefield was deemed scientific fraud and withdrawn.

Not that long ago I saw the likes of Sheia Kironn and her fellow Earth Mothers  in a supermarket at Byron Bay.Under Arm,Leg and Pubic  hair a plenty, protruding from the various orifices .ie singlets and cut down shorts minus bras and underpants.
With their spawn following through the isles shoplifting at will,defying observers with stares and tilts of their malformed "alien heads" mouths resplendent with what passes for teeth,arms and legs I had never seen before,followed by a barrage of gibberish, dispersed with assorted profanities and waving arms and gesticulations to ward off / intimidate those, oh so conservative shoppers,that get in the way of the Labor Green Loon Progressives as they and their spawn rampage through society.
I would NEVER pay money, (or suggest that any one else do so) or visit Byron Bay again as long as I live, based on my last experience there it's an over rated Drug Stuffed Piss Heads Dump. Yes a few good photo ops, drive In drive out, don't pay through the arse to stay there stay any where BUT there.

The Brave New World of Byron Bay,Mullumbimby,Lismore was established and funded  by via Social Security payments,the "It's Time" Whitlam Socialist Labor Loon Government of the Seventies, funded by taxpayers as a means to enshrine Hippy Crystal Gazing Green Drug Worshipping Lunacy as a norm of Australian Society.

So many Australian children were drawn into the Australian Council of Trade Unions FUNDED Australian Labor Party's "Hippy Drug Stuffed Utopia" and suffered the obvious consequences of the ALP's and their Union financiers done deal.

Some years later I did not laugh or take pleasure when the then Australian PM and former leader of the Australian Council of Trade Unions Bob Hawk,was reduced to tears as he described to the Australian media his OWN Daughters dance with his own ideologies manifestations of "Hippydum" and her HEROIN ADDICTION.

Labor's PM Hawk did not ever apologise,or publicly CRY for, the hundreds,thousands of OTHER Australians children,his holy, pious "Progressive" Australian Labor Party,funded by the Australian Council of Trade Unions, policies that facilitated the life ending addictions or instantaneous DEATHS  from their ANYTHING goes, all beliefs actions behaviours are equal and without consequence ...........so long as you vote for PM Hawks Left... after all what's more important than that?

Sri Lankan asylum seekers charged with indecent assault

Gemma Jones
Daily Telegraph

May 10, 201311:00AM

TWO Sri Lankan asylum seekers have been charged with indecent assaults on two women and a girl at a Ricky Martin performance in Sydney last night.

The women aged 39 and 31 and a 14-year-old girl were in the crowd at Parramatta Westfield when they were allegedly attacked by the men who are on bridging visas and living in the community at Westmead.

Police swooped on the Sri Lankans, aged 47 and 20.

A police spokesman has confirmed the men were asylum seekers living in the community.

They were charged with indecent assault and common assault and granted conditional bail and will be required to report daily to Parramatta police station.

The men are due to appear in Parramatta Local Court on June 26.

It is the second time a Sri Lankan asylum seeker living in the community has allegedly committed indecent assault this year after a university student was allegedly set upon in her dorm.

Victim and witness reports confirm that while one of the accused performed the assaults the other looked on laughing at the actions of his accomplice

The 14 year old girl was not in the company of the two older women

Sydney September 15 2012 Muslim Insurgency Riots : Violent Muslim rioter Mahmoud Eid behind bars

Violent Muslim rioter Mahmoud Eid behind bars

PETER BODKIN 
The Daily Telegraph 
May 09, 2013 1:54PM

A RIOTER who was in the middle of every aggressive confrontation with police during last year's violent Muslim protests in the Sydney CBD has been sent to prison for more than four years.

And a magistrate said she would have sent father-of-one Mahmoud Eid, 26, to jail for even longer if she was allowed.

The Punchbowl plumber today faced sentencing in the Downing Centre Local Court for his role in the violent protests, which included rioting, assaulting a female officer and kicking police dog "Chuck’’.

Eid handed himself in two days after being exposed in the media as one of the protestors who turned on police during the September uprising.

He kicked Chuck, who early last year helped catch fugitive Malcolm Naden, with a "full-force’’ blow in the ribs and later pushed a female constable into a flower bed as two officers tried to arrest him.

When police sifted through footage taken during the protest, they tracked him as an "active participant" in all the violent clashes with police.

The riots began as a protest against the posting of a YouTube clip mocking Islam overseas.

Eid pleaded guilty in March to the three charges and today his lawyer Elie Rahme said his client was a man who clearly struggled to "control his emotions" and "express his feeling passively".

"He joined a mob which, it appeared, had similar people in it who were poor in expressing their emotions and poor at expressing their feelings," he said.

"Instead of speaking about their feelings, they chose to lash out with violence."

Eid previously served 15 months of a two-year jail term for a reprisal attack following the 2005 Cronulla riots and he also has prior convictions for assaulting police and affray.

Mr Rahme said the community would best be served if Eid was spared another jail term so he had a chance to "rehabilitate" and deal with his "anger-management" and "impulse-control" problems.

But Deputy Chief Magistrate Jane Culver said the 26-year-old must have known the protest could turn violent - given his history at Cronulla - yet he had spent hours following the clashes around the city.

"There is no noble cause which can justify a riot where violence is used against police," she said.

"Freedom of speech cannot be a vehicle by which violence can be perpetrated."

Ms Culver sentenced Eid to a minimum of 33 months in jail with a 16-month parole period, adding she would have given him four years for the rioting alone if she wasn't restricted to a two-year term in the local court.

Eid smiled and hugged his supporters before he was taken into custody.

Mildura Brewery goes ahead with anti ANZAC "comedian" Catherine Deveny

RSL angry as Catherine Deveny comedy show goes on

THE owners of a Mildura bar have stuck by the scheduled appearance of controversial comedian Catherine Deveny tomorrow night despite demands of a boycott following her anti-Anzac Day outburst.

Mildura Brewery co-owners Stefano DePieri and Donatta Carozza have attracted the scorn of locals and the Mildura RSL after they refused to cancel Deveny's show.

Deveny, who was famously sacked by Fairfax Media in 2010 after making disparaging comments about Rove McManus' late wife Belinda Emmett, claims she has also been the subject of death threats in the wake of comments published on her Twitter feed.

In the tweets which sparked the outcry, Deveney wrote that "Days like #anzacday are simply a rewriting of history to stop the sucked in and ripped off burning down parliament and killing politicians."

She added: "I would like to see parades, medals and glorification for survivors of domestic violence, mental illness and sexual abuse #anzacday."

Mildura RSL branch president Alec Ouchirenko said this week: "It just makes me feel sick in the stomach for someone to run down the Anzac tradition the way she is."

Madame Gillard's "John"

No dragons live in PM's perilous fiscal fantasy

Miranda Devine 
The Daily Telegraph 
May 01, 2013 12:00AM

'IMAGINE a wage earner, John, employed in the same job throughout the last 20 years.

"For a period in 2003 to 2007 every year his employer gave him a sizeable bonus. He was grateful but in his bones knew it wouldn't last. The bonuses did stop and John was told his income would rise by around five per cent each year over the years to come. That's the basis for his financial plans.

"Now, very late, John has been told he won't get those promised increases for the next few years but his income will get back up after that to where he was promised it would be. What is John's rational reaction?"

This was Julia Gillard's patronising attempt to explain her government's latest budget crisis. In a speech this week the Prime Minister used "John" to explain why it's the fault of everyone but her feckless spendthrift government that there will be a $12 billion revenue shortfall in the year she promised a surplus.

"John" appears to be the human embodiment of her government, two weeks before Wayne Swan hands down his fifth Budget, complete with its fifth deficit.

In the real world, a man who found his income reduced would tighten his belt. His family would look at the household budget and figure out what luxuries to give up.

Lamb might be off the menu, for instance, as would the Foxtel subscription, and the HCF membership. The holiday overseas might become a trip to the Forster caravan park. Private schools would have to wait until Year 11.

This is the sort of thrift Australian families have practised as a prudent response to global economic uncertainty, job insecurity, and a mercurial government, with household savings tripling in two years.

But the Prime Minister scoffs at such parsimony.

In "John's world" - that arcadia of protected jobs, plenty of cash and government benefits that flow like water, when John's income is cut, he doesn't curb spending.

Eat two-minute noodles for dinner? Take his kids out of private school?Perish the thought, says the PM.

He borrows money to keep his "family and lifestyle intact" because tomorrow is always another day of free money.

You can only understand John's behaviour if, like everyone in government, the public service, academia and a good deal of the media, he has a protected job sheltered from the disciplines of the market.

In the real world, mistakes have consequences, dad loses his job, incomes fall, people can't pay their mortgages, kids are pulled out of private school and belts are tightened by necessity.

The division in Australian society exploited by Gillard and Swan is not between left and right, haves and have-nots or even insiders and outsiders.

It's between those who have protected incomes and those who are exposed to the real economy - the small business owners who create wealth, the PAYE employees who work for the wealth creators.

In John's world, an 18-year-old working as a "glassie" on Anzac Day in a Balmain pub earns $550 for 11-hours work, because his employer is obliged to pay double time and three quarters under the Fair Work Act.

The result is that youth unemployment has skyrocketed to an average of 18 per cent and students can't find casual jobs once taken for granted by their parents. Only pizza delivery and off-the-books labouring is immune from the new harsh economic realities.

In the real world, bustling suburban high streets have become ghost towns on Sundays because shop and restaurant owners can't afford to pay penalty rates.

In John's world this is a "fair go" for workers.

The ABC lives in John's world, which is why it received an extra $10 million this year and reflexively spruiks for the federal government.

Take, for example, Four Corners' belated discovery of more than 1000 asylum seeker children in detention, after five years of see-no-evil journalism.

During the Howard era it couldn't focus enough on detention centres. But apart from once in 2011, it hadn't touched the subject since 2008 when it featured the reminiscences of detention centre guards in the Howard era, starring special guest villain Philip Ruddock, who had not been immigration minister for five years.

Meanwhile, the actual Rudd government was dismantling border protection policies, with the result that a trickle of two boats per month has exploded to more than 2000 people a month - and hundreds of asylum seekers have drowned. The cost to the taxpayer is more than $2.2 billion a year.

In John's world, this is a good policy. In John's world, $6 billion thrown at schools to please militant teacher unions will fix our children's declining performance in reading and maths, when evidence around the world shows little correlation between money and educational outcomes.

In John's world, the financial woes of the federal government are the fault of John Howard and Peter Costello.

In the real world, Howard and Costello inherited a budget in deficit in 1996 and left $22 billion in surplus in 2007, plus a $60 billion future fund.

Spending has blown out by 35 per cent a year since Labor came to office. Eighty cents in every dollar of income tax goes to social welfare and the government keeps promising to spend more.

Only in John's world is this sort of profligacy sustainable.

In the real world it is the road to ruin.
