The Howard gov­ern­ment was not a fan of Australia’s insti­tu­tions, tak­ing many oppor­tun­it­ies to pum­mel, among other things, our uni­ver­sit­ies, the ABC, and even our courts. We thought we were get­ting change last Novem­ber, but Lord almighty, look what Kevin’s doing.

Spend­ing cuts (and raises for that mat­ter) are not inher­ently good. They must be eval­u­ated on their mer­its, as Kevin Rudd surely knows. So why is his gov­ern­ment tak­ing a blunt 3.25% whack across all gov­ern­ment sec­tors to achieve spuri­ous “effi­ciency gains”?

If an insti­tu­tion as fun­da­mental to Aus­tralian soci­ety as the highest court in the land is unable to be insu­lated against the razor gang then noth­ing is sac­red. It is false eco­nomy to think that cut­ting three-hundredths of the High Court’s budget will res­ult in sav­ings. If an insti­tu­tion is under­fun­ded, then its abil­ity to oper­ate is drastic­ally con­strained, res­ult­ing in far more harm than the oppor­tun­ity cost of what was cut. It is high time gov­ern­ments real­ised that run­ning a demo­cracy is expens­ive — but that it is well worth it. And if they can’t get the basics right, why bother try­ing any­thing else?Gang­land movie down­load
