Guardian goodness

Two good columns in the Guardian recently:

Greg Jericho on the pitfalls of privatisation (why is it he sounds so much more convincing than "just privatise everything" message of Julie Novak I heard on Radio National last week - perhaps it's because he actually suggests an evidence based approach, rather than a pure ideological one?)

Lenore Taylor on the culture war approach of this Abbott government.   Donnelly leading a review of curriculum is a bit of a joke;  in my view, he's become a perpetual whinger who doesn't acknowledge improvements towards the centre that education has made over the last decade or so.

I'm waiting for Abbott to announce a Rupert Murdoch led enquiry into media ownership and regulation in Australia.  It would make as much sense.

Politics is essentially about ideologies . The left have their ideological agenda that they promote vigorously when in government ,to the general affliction of the the voter.While the right have their own ideologies that they were comprehensively voted into government to promote.
You need to accept that this is what the majority of Australians want and voted for.

I find your definition of this sight misleading. Your articles do not appear to be conservative. More left wing leaning would be more accurate. You lefties just can't help but lie can you.
