How many Abbott Government decisions pass the "Joh" test?

Right from dot, we had Scott Morrison with his Operation Sovereign Borders. Bringing in the military to fight off the scourge of the evil asylum seekers – as we know that they combined with ISIS are the greatest threat to this nation as we know it, Tony told us - Family violence, what family violence [...]

Cardinal George Pell might be ducking and weaving but our Federal Government is not far behind him

Now, George Pell makes for a great villain in this piece, his arrogantly callous form in previous years whenever abuse is mentioned, his running for legal advice when cornered, hell, the terribly co-incidental of course, manner in which he happened to get his promotion to the Vatican just as the [...]

Scott McIntyre 'offence' response illustrates how ANZAC day has become a ‘myth’ of biblical proportions

The ‘myth’ of ANZAC Day has gotten so out of control that it is bordering on religious fundamentalism, the particularly scary kind that Australians are normally the first to call out in other nations where there is no separation between Religion and State.

#Qldpol is a mess & it is power hungry politicians at fault

With all the screams of “chaos”, “Queensland Government could fall”, “When did Premier know”, etc . etc. What everyone, including the media seem to forget is that there are real people behind the headlines? Billy Gordon, the member for Cook, is a ‘person’, his ex partner, who the Qld [...]

Can we smell chunks of the political fourth estate on the run?

Can we smell chunks of the political fourth estate on the run? Or is it the scent of those who refused to see but — surprise, surprise — are now open-eyed and so very disappointed? Are some turning?

Bill Shorten? When will good Opposition start?

*Drumroll Please* the Data Retention Bill or “Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Amendment (Data Retention) Bill 2014” hitting the news. That pesky Metadata that both George Brandis & Tony Abbott struggle so hard trying to explain to people – envelope something...

Tony Abbott, Why you gotta be so rude?

Parody song inspired by "No Guilt" - Gillian Triggs, Australian Human Rights Commission attack. 9pm Thursday-you gave parliament. A human rights report. Details traumatized children, 100's in-fact.

Is our PM an incompetent leader? You bet you are... You bet he is

Considering the stick up the butt attitude so many in Government have, I prefer to go the mocking route in regard to coping with this current PM and his Government. Yes, it may sound petty, but it is a survival mechanism that is tried and tested, “if you don’t laugh about it you will cry”. [...]

Yes, I sometimes read & follow News Corp Journalists and will NOT apologise for it!

Ok, this one has been building for a while... *Picks up the Mic* Yes, I despise what the Courier Mail has done recently. The repulsive LNP cheerleading front pages and fear mongering is not only reprehensible but irresponsible in a democratic society. Of course this is only the most recent in a [...]
