A superb analysis, expressing with glaring clarity the choices we face. I will add one more impediment to our progressing beyond the current constipated quandary... the Australian constitution is an entirely colonial construct which explicitly sunordinates our political structures within the context of the British imperium. I, for one, doubt that it is fit for 21st century purpose.
Your analysis of Australia's domestic and international politics and its resource-, financialisation-, and immigration-dependent economy is spot on. Easily the best commentary on the election I've heard so far.

But why can't I restack this post???
Thanks for your kind words. As for the 'restacking' question, I'm afraid I don't know.
Did you write the Rudd report?
At the time I was a member of the research and drafting team and also supported cross government engagement.
