Abbott's Business Advisory Council Hypocrisy

Abbott's Business Advisory Council Hypocrisy

Posted by Doug Cameron 23sc on January 31, 2014 
The loudest critics of Commonwealth government
debt and those who are demanding that it be cut – and right now thank
you very much!! – are often the leading lights of big business and their
cheerleaders from “think-tanks” like the Institute of Public Affairs
and the Centre for Independent Studies. 

Some of these people have actually been appointed to high level
bodies advising the Abbott government, like the Prime Minister's
Business Advisory Council.


The Prime Minister's Business Advisory Council is headed by former
stockbroker, banker and Howard-appointed ABC chairman Maurice Newman.
Newman recently got a lot of media coverage as one of Australia's leading climate change deniers and as someone who knows almost nothing about labour market economics.
