Julia Gillard will be squeezing this sitting week in between international engagements but it’s likely to be wholly domestic matters that dominate Question Time today. Join us here from 2pm for live coverage.

  Seems the catchphrase of the week from conservative party headquarters is “lost their way”.
  
  Looks like the New Paradigm has lost it’s way.
  
  Perhaps some good legislation will help it deliver on the promise it holds.

So Tony Abbott is now trying to pillory the ALP over its apparent lack of vision? Yesterday on tne ABC radio, Cathy Bedford asked Ted Baillieu about his vision for the future of Victoria. Ted made a few statements about extra police, and improved medical services, but nothing which indicated he had a ‘vision’. If Abbott wants to go down this path, I suggest he’s on very shaky ground! Typically his own politics have been negative, and ad hoc. I would have thought that ‘vision’ was about what could be the future for Australia under a particular party’
s tutelage. It might cover things such as improved quality of life, improved industrial base, decentralised population distribution, and an idea about the desirable way economic growth should occur? The first party to express their ideals in this format will be on a winner. If that unlikely event ever occurs, the attempts at one -upmanship should be quite amusing! Mission and vision statements are a part of basic management practice. I wonder if we have any politicians who can actually manage, let alone lead ?

wonder what the vision looks like when the policy is NO.

  I love three word slogans. So much better than 2 word slogans.
  
  A whole word better. They are the awesome sauce.
  
  Go the sloganeering. Where would we be without you.
