Swan blames inflation rise on previous govt
Federal Treasurer Wayne Swan has used today's inflation figures to attack the previous Howard Government's economic record. The Consumer Price Index has risen a slightly higher than expected 0.9 per cent, driven by petrol prices, banking costs, rising rents and domestic holidays. That takes annual inflation to 3 per cent, which is right on the Reserve Bank's upper limit. Perhaps more importantly, the central bank's own two underlying measures have surged to 3.8 and 3.4 per cent. Today's cost of living figures from the Bureau of Statistics are seen as crucial ahead of next month's interest rates decision from the Reserve Bank. Mr Swan says elevated inflation is the Liberal Party's parting gift to Australian families. "Now it's pretty clear when you look at underlying inflation that these pressures have taken a long time to build," he said.

Havoc in the harbor
Aside from tsunami damage, recent storms also have wreaked havoc on the weakened harbor. Already this season, at least $350,000 in damages have plagued the harbor, resulting in more broken docks, electrical outages and cramped quarters in the boat basin as vessels are shuffled around. The governor recently proclaimed a state of emergency in Del Norte County, so the harbor will be reimbursed for someif not allof these repair costs. Storms during the winter of 2005-06 created about $500,000 in damages even before the tsunami struck later that year. Federal and state emergency aid is covering those ongoing repair projects, which include rebuilding the inner sea wall, dredging and some erosion protection. With the most recent storms, harbor staff have tried to prioritize repairs where safety is most compromised, Harbormaster Young said.
Mischief thou art afoot
If Islamic fundamentalism is a threat to democratic Islam it is also a wonderful window of opportunity to a resource-coveting West. Just as Pakistan needs to convince western allies of its bona fides they need to convince Pakistan of theirs. Only then can extremism and terror perish as they should and must.
Vying for Wests favour
By Farhat Haq
LIKE jealous siblings competing for the attention of negligent and forgetful parents, Pervez Musharraf and Benazir Bhutto had been competing to become the Wests sole spokespersons for Pakistan.
Much to the consternation of Musharraf, Benazir was winning this contest lately. Surviving the bombing of her homecoming rally made her the Muslim Joan of Arc and her assassination solidified that status in the western press.
