Good on Victorian Liberal Senator James Paterson for his media campaign to sell Jackson Pollock’s drunken daub, Blue Poles, to help pay down the national debt.  Forgive the puns, but he’s succeeded in framing the debate about debt reduction in a way that captured the imagination, and gave voters’ imaginations a real picture of practical action to stem the debt tide as the Senate prepares to grill ministers and bureaucrats over the budget bottom line at the latest round of Estimates hearings next week.
