David Millhouse - Blog: AUSTRALIA CAUGHT BETWEEN SHIFTING TECTONIC PLATES

http://davidmillhouse.blogspot.com/2014/01/australia-caught-between-shifting.html

Wednesday, 8 January 2014. AUSTRALIA CAUGHT BETWEEN SHIFTING TECTONIC PLATES. My Ping Pong Pang blogs on this site generate a lot of interest. Here is my prognosis for how Australian industry is being trapped between the rapidly shifting tectonic plates of the United States, German-led Europe, and China. If this prognosis is correct, it will have profound implications for investors. The US today is probably at its most competitive since the 1950's consumer product revolution. It is sucking in talent ...

David Millhouse - Blog: "CORNINESS, INSINCERITY AND TOKENISM"

http://davidmillhouse.blogspot.com/2013/07/corniness-insincerity-and-tokenism.html

Wednesday, 17 July 2013. CORNINESS, INSINCERITY AND TOKENISM". Not my words. This was written and published by a prominent Labour ex-Minister, Gary Johns, in the Australian of the 16th July. To quote:. Whatever he has promised, Kevin can't. He can't deliver. Kevin can't because he is full of cant -corniness, insincerity, and tokenism". And this was only the start of the article, the themes of which are being picked up by much of the mainstream Australian quality press. He makes much of "saving" Australia...

Sunday, 12 January 2014. THE POLITICISATION OF SCIENCE: BACK TO THE 1970'S? The 1970's seem a world away from 2014, especially for younger people. Those people will not remember that the politics of science then, and especially what was then the new discipline of ecology, was about Global Cooling. One of the leading exponents of the day was one Paul Ehrlich, author of the Malthusian "Population Bomb". This analysis seems to be consistent with measured facts. In Turneys' case, who boasted about being repo...

Its always tough when things get smaller, whether its governments or companies. Much of the squawking is driven by those former Labour and Green politicians who squandered Australia's opportunity.

David Millhouse - Blog: IS AUSTRALIA THE NEW SOUTHERN EUROPE?

http://davidmillhouse.blogspot.com/2013/11/is-australia-new-southern-europe.html

Tuesday, 5 November 2013. IS AUSTRALIA THE NEW SOUTHERN EUROPE? Most of the world thinks Australia is a quarry and a farm. A nice place to visit, albeit expensive. The country also manufactures things. And often does so well, but receives little credit internally and for the most part externally. I have provided examples before of high value adding firms which employ lots of people. A recent reported standout is CEA Technologies, based in Canberra. CEA has. Australian Special Report Defence 2nd November ...

David Millhouse - Blog: THE POLITICISATION OF SCIENCE

http://davidmillhouse.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-politicisation-of-science.html

Monday, 19 August 2013. THE POLITICISATION OF SCIENCE. I have written extensively on the impact that political views have on science and how scientific viewpoints then feed into public policy like a feedback loop. All well oiled by copious quantities of taxpayers cash. They also don't tell you that water vapour is a very potent greenhouse gas, far more so than carbon dioxide. How interesting it would be then, if instead of this constant "we are all going to be ruined" harping from the green-politicised s...

http://davidmillhouse.blogspot.com/2013/05/the-opportunity-costs-of-poor-public.html

Monday, 27 May 2013. THE OPPORTUNITY COSTS OF POOR PUBLIC POLICY. Reports suggest that the Australian taxpayer has provided some A$19 billion in financial support to the Australian automotive industry this last 10 years according to the Australian Productivity Commission and reported by Henry Ergas (Australian May 25th 2013). What did Australian taxpayers get in return for this investment? What could have Australia achieved with this quantum of venture capital? Most think it will mean working harder for ...

David Millhouse - Blog: A TALE OF THREE CITIES (PLUS TWO)

http://davidmillhouse.blogspot.com/2013/10/a-tale-of-three-cities-plus-two.html

Monday, 14 October 2013. A TALE OF THREE CITIES (PLUS TWO). I have been on business in three vibrant cities recently: London, Berlin, and Paris. You might think from media reports in Australia that these places are closed for business and all is doom and gloom. Paris, frenetic, and in deal making mode. Which we did. Similarly Singapore. My first read of the Weekend Australian told me why (5-6th October, p.16). John Black is an insightful statistician and demographer. He concludes : ". For personalised so...
