Left and Leftist thinking!

Comments on Nick Dyrenfurth “The battle for the Left”, 12/03/2010, http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/opinion/the-battle-for-the-left/story-e6frg6zo-1225839752277

It appears that the author confused himself very deeply and in the course also effected confusion for the readers.

He confused The Australian economic fundamentals with Labour's superficial management role - if no recession is proof of good economic management, many current governments in the world are much better economic managers, but are they really? What about the gifts from decades of economic reforms and prudential management by its predecessors? Further, what are the true and unnecessary costs to the budget and government debt?

He confused the already discredited Rudd/Wong ETS with real market based approach - what are those free handouts of the rights to pollute to polluters and inequitable subsidies?

In terms of thinking logic, one has to wonder the author is not an “extreme left” himself!

But certainly some sorts of extremist.
