The fact is, the class war, when it comes to Education, is NOT over!

This morning on Australian Agenda on Sky News they actually raised the question of Tertiary Education, well Peter van Onselen did anyhow. What should have been a good segment, discussing policy for a change, ended up Craig Emerson getting cranky whilst defending the right of kids less privileged than [...]

Help me please, I do want to vote Labor, give me a reason!

Every man & his dog has given up Labor as a dead loss for the election in September. I am not so sure, John Howard was pretty much in that position at one stage too and it was only the intervention of ‘Children Overboard’ & ‘Twin Towers’ that saved his butt.

Google Reader is dead, long live... well every other RSS reader that is out there!

Yes it's a shame that Google Reader is going (Powering Down Google Reader), especially as I have been such a heavy user over the years, but for heavens sake its a free program.

All eyes on Cronulla, will the NRL be consistent with punishment?

Ok, I know that the Melbourne Storm players would never be tacky or ill-disciplined enough to raise the issue, as it is not 'sportsmanlike', so I will for them... Cronulla Sharks are in a world of poo, even if you don’t follow sport, you have seen it on the news and not in the sports section at [...]

Wide Bay needs to become a tweeny weeny marginal seat

Is the “liberal” in Liberal Party of Australia fraudulent?
