Tony Abbott achieves the impossible: unity among economists

Economists are refuting the three big picture claims made by the government: 1) We have a budget emergency 2) We have a debt crisis and 3) The carbon tax was ruining the economy

There’s a joke about economists: if you ask five economists the same question you’ll get six different answers. Granted, it's not a very good joke, but it’s a fair call. Ours is a complex field, and a growing number of economists are acknowledging that the theory sitting behind mainstream economics is mostly rubbish. As a result, it’s very difficult to find consensus on real world events.

But that's where Abbott and Hockey have achieved what many thought impossible: a true consensus. Unfortunately for the coalition government, the consensus is entirely against them. The Abbott government’s agenda has been driven by three major claims, all of them economic in nature. Let’s see how economists view these three themes:

I agree with last bit of article:

The clarity of these examples reveals the sad reality of this government.

They are not ideologues, they are just puppets dancing to the tune of those pulling their strings.

....... remembering, Mr Joseph Hockey, Treasurer of Australia does not have an Economics Degree

Do the libs own the new forum management company?

There seems to be some new rules that allow some to be called names on a regular basis.

Not everyone reads the Govt diary thread, nero. This announcement deserves a thread of its own.
