Labor’s proposal, which will operate from July 1 next year if the party wins the election, would enable parents to make a one-off claim against the value of a laptop or PC if it was bought outright. If the computer was leased, parents would be able to make a claim for the rebate against the [...]

It’s now the earliest part of Day 9, and the Newspoll is in: Labor leads the Coalition on a Two-Party Preferred basis, 58% to 42%.

Kevin Rudd has revealed his true colours: He’s Howard 2.0. All the pizazz that Howard 1.0 lacks plus all the cynical, shameless, uneconomic, grubby bribery of the original.
