The Australian prime minister's speech at Davos struck a familiar tone and was criticised for being inappropriately partisan. So does he stick to the same themes whoever the audience? We compare four speeches in wordle form

Perhaps unsurprisingly, but also somewhat ironically for a prime minister in favour of small government, the word “government” was one of the most frequently repeated words in the speeches we compared.

Tax, Labor, Australia and people were also hot contenders for his most-used word, as the four wordles on the link reveal.

That's hilarious debra.

I wonder how long it's been blank for? You'd think they would fix that as soon as possible.

I clicked on the link and thought there was an error as it was not loading properly as the page was blank 

It was only when I looked to the right and saw other info that I realised there was no error

oh look.....We got over Julia Gillard's embarassing advice to the world leaders that they should follow "the Australian Way"   Do you remember the international reaction that attracted?

Considering that in that time Australia was the envy of the world, and the way our government lauded by all the top economists for the way they handled the GFC, it was not such a bad advice.  Of-course, LNP & al  called her letter embarrassing; they would wouln't they.

In any case, that is past, which cannot be changed. 

Present is TA who not only is embarrassing, but he is badly damaging our international relationships.

I love this page: https://www.liberal.org.au/liberal-women

"Liberal Women" with ony one woman on it. It would be much better if they simply removed the page rather than highlight their negatives.

The women's page is all about Howard an Menzies, apart from the pic of Bishop at the top of the page.

Just a pat ourselves on the back brag fest with not a single woman mentioned.

Overnight, Tony Abbott told the World Economic Forum that the previous Labor Government was wrong to stimulate our economy during the GFC. Leading economists, including Nobel Prize winning economist Joseph Stiglitz tend to disagree.

Here’s what Stiglitz said about Labor’s economic management during the GFC.
