I’m going to post the interview, the comments on the interview and the webcomic before Michael does. I don’t really need to add any more to it, do I?
“Business in Australia has welcomed the election of a Rudd Labor Government…”
“The warm welcome of a Rudd Government by the BCA and other leading business groups reflects the increasing frustration of the business community with the Howard government over the past few years.”
My understanding of the tv ads during/prior to the election was that the Australian business comunity was living in fear of a Rudd victory. Mostly because they were afraid of 3 built “union” guys storming their tailoring businesses and staring at them while the business owners screamed “Help! Help! I’m being repressed!”.
Oh how times have changed. Not only do they welcome Rudd but they didn’t like Howard in the first place. I suppose next week we’ll find out that the short fall in the production of boots has been replaced by an unexpected increase in the production of boots.

Hello Disruptive technologies.
I have no idea why the music industry and other industries protected by copyright believe they shouldn’t be subject to the same market forces as every other industry on the planet. I mean really when a new low cost airline launches in Australia I don’t hear about Qantas suing them into nonexistance.
Instead they simply create a tiered market place. High paying customers are treated with a much higher level of services on their flights and low paying customers missout on their flights if they aren’t there 30 minutes before take off.
