ABC News - 'Business hope for quick end to election uncertainty'
Business groups say they are hoping for the quick formation of a stable government, and are very concerned about the Greens holding the Senate balance of power...
Good. 'Concerned' is capitalist-speak for 'shit, people are starting to realise that our economic practices are ecologically unsustainable'.
The chamber's chief executive Peter Anderson says the economy must continue to grow during the caretaker period and when a minority government is formed...
Well of course, he would say that.
Mr Anderson says he hopes the Greens will become a more pragmatic political party when it gains the balance of power in the Senate, with nine Greens senators in the Upper House of Parliament from July next year.
Fat chance!
He says the Greens will need to adjust their stance on some economic issues to ensure necessary reforms can be made...
Perhaps it is the sycophantic Labor/Liberal parties that 'will need to adjust their stance', and stop praying at the great capitalist altar known as 'mass production, mass consumption'?
"There are many aspects of their platform which do not correspond with the platform of the major parties, and which do not correspond with views of the business community," he warned...
Good. 'Warned' is capitalist-speak for 'do as we say, or we are going to have to think up another way to go to war in order to protect our greedy idealism'. Bring it on!
"The Australian Greens will need to recognise that there is significant compromise necessary if we are going to achieve a stable outcome."
Perhaps it is the 'Australian Business Community' that needs to 'recognise' what it means to 'compromise'. Ever heard of a concept called 'ecological integrity', Mr Anderson?
Various industries and companies will also be hoping they will not lose out from the increased power of independents and the Greens, including mining companies, Telstra and the major banks.
As she announced a $1.4 billion three month profit, Westpac's chief executive Gail Kelly said she hopes the banking sector will not be used as a political bargaining tool.
"I'm hoping, as we all are, that it sort of settles its way through quite quickly because stability is something that we're all looking for," she said.
"There's been no indication that banking issues are going to actually become the lightning rod for anything, and certainly that would be our hope."
Not yet, but thanks for the tip of where to direct the efforts of our next anti-capitalist propaganda program, Gail.
