...Phillip Coorey’s take on Abbott’s crushing week.<br /><br />“Colleagues of Abbott say he is shattered at how quickly things have deteriorated. It took him some days to comprehend the enormity of the damage caused by his Prince Philip brain fart.<br />What will really gall him is that if he is tossed after just 16 months in the job, he would have held office for a shorter time than either Rudd or Julia Gillard, both of whom he cannot abide.<br />Gillard had her flaws as leader but she also had it a lot harder than Abbott. Gillard and her colleagues were savaged daily by the News Corp tabloids and the shock jocks, they were opposed by the powerful lobbies representing business, mining, energy and gambling, and she was being actively undermined by Rudd and his supporters. Abbott was undermined by nobody and News Corp and the lobby groups were on his side. This is his work.”<br /><br />http://bit.ly/1LXAFi2<br /><br />Poor Abbott, life sucks sometimes.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462488453822156883.post-77352422720133325192015-02-07T18:47:11.274+11:002015-02-07T18:47:11.274+11:00Sheridan should be ecstatic if Abbott is sacked. ...Sheridan should be ecstatic if Abbott is sacked.

It's only the collective belief that we regard it as a denominator of value that makes it work. Take away that belief and you have nothing left except for things that have a real value - food, shelter etc. - and you revert to a barter system. For example, Germany in the '20's, more recently Zimbabwe with inflation rates of thousands of percent a week. <br /><br />If we all stopped believing in the collective fantasy that money has a value in and of itself, western capitalism would collapse overnight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462488453822156883.post-60687039442634286862015-02-07T09:41:08.770+11:002015-02-07T09:41:08.770+11:00Hi Dorothy,
