Excessive travel leaves government immobile

Article Abstract:

The resignation by ministers in the Australian federal government due to the uproar over travel expense claims likely will have the effect of delaying the implementation of economic reforms planned by the Howard government. The scandal likely will lead to the office of the Prime Minister acquiring more power over decision making, thus curtailing the power of ministers and delaying the progress and effectiveness of governance.

Coalition, Labor savor a dangerous brew; a backdown on Telstra, the rise of One Nation and chill economic winds from Asia are causing havoc in election planning

Article Abstract:

The outlook for positive growth in the Australian economy has been diminished by the government's failure to complete the sale of the telecommunications giant Telstra. The Treasury Dept is expected to lower its 3% growth forecast to 2.75%. Unemployment is not expected to dip below 8%, and it may increase to 8.5%. The concern over possible One Nation party gains in the Australian Senate is rooted in how its economic policies could stagnate growth. The current National-Liberal party coalition in government feels secure despite increasing disapproval of government economic policies.
