I think Gittins needs to retire, he seems to waffle on about it all the time although sadly not in relation to himself. The likes of Gittins and Stutchbury don't seem to have a clear narrative across their articles these days and even individual articles, such as Stutchbury's bizarre piece that Atlas managed to decode, seem to be a mish-mash of apparently conflicting positions.

I'm currently reading The Great Crash of 2008. Well done to you and Ross Garnaut, it's a standout piece of work.

Thanks old boy...

Weird about Gittins. I actually admire his preparedness to canvass alternative economic viewpoints. He won my economic commentator award at The Distillery.

But he's lost his zing. Seems to want to defend Labor a lot...
