What, pray tell, are these activities revealed by The Australian Online today:<br /><br />LABOR has handed grants worth $3 million to green groups to fund initiatives that support action on climate change and back the government's carbon tax package.<br /><br />A Senate estimates committee today also revealed the Gillard government's multi-million dollar carbon tax advertising campaign has reached almost $24 million, after a $4 million blow-out.<br /><br />The almost $24 million in advertising includes $16 million on carbon tax advertising, up from $12 million, $3.9 million on developing the ad campaign and $4 million on household leaflets.<br /><br />Details also emerged about a series of ad-hoc grants to green groups.<br /><br />The groups benefiting from grants included the Climate Institute, the Australian Conservation Foundation and Climate Works Australia. Some of the groups have been part of the “say yes” coalition and have backed Labor as it fends off ony Abbott's anti-carbon tax campaign.Jack Gudgeonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-16527223466027731852011-10-17T12:06:43.862+11:002011-10-17T12:06:43.862+11:00It's good advice to choose your PR person wise...It's good advice to choose your PR person wisely. Don't forget that these days PR's are often trained by the same universities, sometimes even in the same faculties, that offer such outstanding political indoctrination to wannabe journalists. It all rubs off a bit on the most well-intentioned of media-handling employees unless they get put straight. Nice one for noting its possible effects, Bunyip.Elizabeth (Lizzie) B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-60555425038206306772011-10-17T11:11:30.738+11:002011-10-17T11:11:30.738+11:00"When the Abbott government is elected, immed..."When the Abbott government is elected, immediately suspend all government advertising in Old Media outlets..."<br /><br />What a brilliant idea, the Coalition should start spreading this idea vigorously.

While I cna understand resentment of astroturf groups Getup and Newsstand being treated by Fairfax and others as 'grassroots', the attempt to paint these new groups as being <br /><br />"We are not a political party. We are not politically partisan" was an insult to the intelligence of voters.<br /><br />However, a general lesson was in the writer of the piece's own techniques (from Media Matters 'rule book' perhaps)...<br /><br />“as a guest of the Tea Party think tank, the Heartland Institute”. <br /><br />‘The Heartland Institute is best known in the US ……..and for its role in Climategate.’ <br /><br />Simple technique to associate supposedly ‘bad’ organisation with two things you are targeting and which have NO connection to what you fear - <br /><br />in this case the Tea Party and your worst nightmare – Climategate. <br /><br />I also recommended keeping an eye on that author Deborah Gough.<br /> <br />That was a learned technique.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-10591437706808122022011-10-17T07:40:38.610+11:002011-10-17T07:40:38.610+11:00Seriously, what the hell did he attempt to say?Seriously, what the hell did he attempt to say?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-48526296537190567542011-10-17T00:12:43.676+11:002011-10-17T00:12:43.676+11:00Prof, I want to know what good people are reading....Prof, I want to know what good people are reading. What's worth a look and second look. Be it providence or serendipity the citation of Andrew Rule's Korean War sniper story was a boon. There is so much feeble minded and inane chaff to sift through to find a few kernel's hardly worth the efforts of the exercises in separation.<br /><br />Hidden in an open field, the man with the 303, dove tails with your/ this current post.<br /><br />Purportedly Oliver Cromwell never lost a battle. At a time when so much fighting was done where men could see the whites of each others eyes, that says something of the man. You've heard it said there are no atheists in foxholes. So what animates the man, what feeds his inner being, what stirs his emotions, what inspires and motivates are of the highest interest - or should be to narrators of any confrontation.<br />Cromwell's little book "Soldiers Pocket Bible 1642" reshaped England, and gave rise via some convulsive turns to the Parliamentary system now used, right here, right now. The selection of verses is a study in motivation, self reflection, adaptability, hopefulness, resolve, resignation, determination, consistency, pragmatism, preparedness. It could be taken onto any theatre of engagement, for those with the heart to read it - therein, what is missing is what was abolished. The purist of one age became the rationalist of another and the baby went out with the bath water.<br />"Have a heart but don't take mine", was another verse, the English Beat - Sole Salvation - 1982<br />Good practical advice for politician or soldier - especially one wanting to lead a party. Hidden in an open field. Thanks.<br />Man has a maker is where the Parliament came from and its one sustaining feature. cheers.<br />Victoria's desalination plant is one monument to alternative cognition.PhillipGeorge(c)2011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-84761041119659513712011-10-16T20:46:44.660+11:002011-10-16T20:46:44.660+11:00Very good advice, Prof. I second it.
