Senator Ludlam has 'been noted’

I have been fascinated watching twitter in the last 24 hours going off with the astonishing “Senator Ludlam welcomes Tony Abbott to WA” video. Being a fan of democracy, obviously many I associate with are of a more progressive slant, though what I have found interesting in this case is the amount [...]

Yes, I know that Farrell quite quickly saw sense & [...]

Why is a cop held to a higher standard of integrity than an MP?

So far our shiny new ‘No Surprises, No Excuses’ Government has been anything but what was promised in that statement at the Liberal launch in August 2013. I will leave it to the policy experts to detail all the surprises and all the excuses we have received in a very short time. What worries me [...]

@jackietrad on fire with #poorprem

Having said that, I have been really cranky that since Bill Shorten got the top job for the ALP he has been pretty much AWOL. We all remember in the previous Government how you would be watching Sky or ABC24 and the ALP would make a new policy announcement and the very next comment would be, “Now we [...]

Shorten, Abbott deliver new year message. Not really...

So... Last year on New Year’s day I was feral, all morning I saw both PM Julia Gillard AND OL Tony Abbott delivering their New Year’s messages, this fake ‘balance’ incensed me so much I did a post “Prime Minister Julia Gillard and Opposition Leader Tony Abbott DO NOT deserve Equal Billing! [...]
