Mubarak falls and foreign policy idealism runs amok
An old neo-con colleague from Washington called me at the weekend to gloat about the downfall of Mubarak. "What do you think now, Switzer?" he asked in a voice that oozed a certain sort of metropolitan smugness. Well, allow me to point out why I think the transition from dictatorship to a genuine democracy in Egypt remains tricky, potentially messy and could even produce more unintended than intended consequences.

Honey, I shrank the health reform agenda
Much of Kevin Rudd's bigger-than-Ben-Hur plan to revolutionise the health care system has been abandoned, but the issue isn't going away for Julia Gillard.

Labor policy: de-Rudded and revamped
Last night, when the premiers were still in with the Prime Minister agonising over their health decision I dug out the transcript of Kevin Rudd's last press conference in the prime minister's courtyard. The transcript is worth a read because it contains Kevin Rudd's own assessment of his government's good bits. Some of these items are intact, but beyond a few successes, Mr Rudd's list is a field of corrections and reversals. What have we been doing for the last three years?

Deal in principle: Anna Bligh, Kristina Keneally and Julia Gillard at COAG yesterday

Health reform deal signed but not sealed
After a marathon eight-hour meeting with state and territory leaders yesterday, Prime Minister Julia Gillard has managed to get in-principle support for her revamped health reform deal.

New agreement a healthy way to run the system
The health deal agreed yesterday is almost entirely good and should be used as a template for everything else states do, including education and public transport. By setting up an Independent Hospital Pricing Authority that sends money directly to Local Health Networks on the basis of an activity-based funding model, the state health bureaucracies are being cut out of the picture. They could be shut down, but probably won't be.

Gillard buoyed by a flood of Liberal grievance
The 20 seconds that Tony Abbott spent glaring at Channel Seven's political editor Mark Riley, held a menace that cannot be translated to print. Then imaginary reductions in the foreign aid budget generated a serious spat between Julie Bishop and Mr Abbott. Leading into this week, most of the focus was on how Julia Gillard would perform. So why, when the Prime Minister is under so much pressure, did the Coalition decide to parade its internal disputes and let its foot off her throat?
