Be careful what you wish for in Egypt As the Iraq experience has shown over the past eight years, removing a dictator is the easy bit; ensuring people power leads to peace and freedom is far more complicated and fraught with danger. Far from ushering in a new era of democratic prosperity and a stable peace, an Egyptian revolution could lead to a period of virulent anti-Americanism and Islamic extremism. Drug case a distraction The Matthew Chesher case doesn't amount to a hill of beans against the real business of government: policy. Community-based correction: cost-effect against crime Jails cost the Australian taxpayer $2.9 billion in 2009-10. Community corrections on the other hand is cheap at $400 million over the same period. WhatÂ's more, community corrections works. Supporters of freedom, right? The last few weeks have been an interesting time for freedom, a concept that, was, not so very long ago, ostentatiously central to Western foreign policy. What do flood speeches say about us all? Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott have said much about the floods in the past week. Both were pilloried and praised for their words, depending upon the critics' points of view.

Poll: voters will save the hysteria for the next new tax The first private research on Julia Gillard's flood levy plays down thoughts of talkback hysteria and an assumed "voter backlash" to the tax. The only objective survey thus far into the nature of voter reaction to generic tax increases suggests Julia Gillard has got the political, if not economic structure, of the flood tax right. But the author of that research raises a crucial caveat: whether the social imperatives of the flood levy can be sustained in the face of the looming carbon tax is less certain. That's the "Big One" Tony Abbott is pinning his 2013 election hopes on. A recovery fund worth dwelling on The NDRRA is an extraordinarily bureaucratic set of guidelines for passing Commonwealth disaster money to the states.

But what Julia Gillard did at yesterday's National Press Club address is nonetheless pretty staggering. Her cool public slaughter of about $1.3 billion in clean energy incentives could be described in several different ways. Financial markets applaud GillardÂ's flood package The GovernmentÂ's package is thoughtful and responsible, the levy highly progressive, yet Gillard and Swan have been pummelled by the pundits.
