		<description><![CDATA[They&#8217;re probably just using the ABC like a piñata, without expecting it to break, but it seems to be fashionable for commentators on the right to call for more diversity in ABC presenters (see James Allan&#8217;s piece from this morning&#8217;s Australian) and even applying on their own blogs for a job themselves. Andrew Bolt is the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Politifact is a well-established US &#8220;fact checking&#8221; site which has now expanded to Australia under the guidance of former Fairfax editor Peter Fray. It&#8217; s a different take to On Line Opinion&#8217;s on the classic question &#8220;what is truth&#8221;. We take the attitude that most (but not all) facts are subject to some degree of uncertainty [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The proposition that the Howard Government is responsible for the current deficit annoys the hell out of me. As I understand the argument, Howard and Costello irresponsibly granted tax cuts in a boom time with no regard for the fact that future governments might want the extra revenue. What&#8217;s really at the base of the [...]]]></description>

A 2010 paper by Harvard economists Reinhart and Rogoff was thought to show that growth suffers when a country has debt in excess of 90% of GDP. But [...]]]></description>

And if there are, what does it say for the likely poll result, and the responses currently being garnered by pollsters?

That is if results in Australian elections are in any way similar to US elections.

Well, apart from a huge increase in experience on my part, what she did proved its worth. She took the UK from being an economic and social basket case and made it &#8220;great&#8221; [...]]]></description>

We are getting an increasing number of these sorts of propositions, which suggests that they must be having some success somewhere, but operators like this are best avoided.
