Lotta positive stuff for aviation(), if and when the ALP get back in:
Andrew Leigh on QandA Monday:
They shared what they had and they had higher survival rates as a result. We have not got the highest inequality we’ve had in 75 years. The double 1% share has doubled. The top 0.1% share has tripled. We have a doubling in the number of private planes in Australia and yet one in seven Australians can't afford dental insurance and so I think we’re running a risk at the moment that that great egalitarian tradition in which we prefer to use the word 'Mate' to the word 'Sir' and we’d never think about re-introducing knights and dames - oops - is at odds with the economic reality, with the fact we’ve really seen this rising gap between rich and poor.
Doubling of numbers? since when? He is just trying to play the old "silvertail" card. Quite possibly drives a car that is worth more than some "private" aircraft.
