I have recieved a huge amount of corespondence after my posts on the HSU saga, and the fallout from the Craig Thomson revelations. Though I have had a small amount of abuse, not a single person has been able to dispute my findings, in fact, quite the opposite. Kathy Jackson admitted much of what was [...]

T’was Monday 21st May, 2012, the day the Thomson Circus finally rolled into Canberra. The day the Honourable Member For Dobell, Craig Thomson made his long awaited speech before the parliament, and a packed press gallery.

I was thinking today how lucky we are to live in a country like Australia. Australia is not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but there are some things we can always rely on, well nearly always. The presumption of innocence until proven guilty for example, and, at the end of the process of [...]

Asylum seekers love being told they are human scum by a vile opposition leader and his motley crew. Climate scientists love to be told they are tin foil hat wearing freaks, especially [...]
I am without a doubt a political geek, no sense in denying it… My favourite shows are Q&A, 7 30, 4 Corners, Media Watch, and Lateline. If I want fiction and comedy, I’ll watch “In The Thick Of It”…. like I said, political geek… Monday nights are my big night, all 5 of these shows [...]
I started this post a while back, but kinda got a bit sidetracked by other issues. Anyway…. I wanted to do a post to send out a huge congratulations to Michelle Rowland MP. It’s a bit late I know… So, this is it…Congratulations Michelle, for two reasons, one for becoming a mother for the first [...]
I was wondering last night what the lowest of the low is when it comes to crime. Is it murder? Rape? Abduction? Maybe some think drug distribution… For my money, and it seems to be the most common answer, a paedophile is the lowest of the low. Even in jail, these vermin are considered to [...]
