Refugees: Australia has a role to play. Let’s discuss it

I have chosen to write this in order to add in some way to a discussion around what is a real human crisis in our region.

Schoolgirl Selfies: Boys future in jeopardy after one dumb decision. Oh wait...

#CensusFail is a failure to listen to ‘experts’ and it’s complicated...

Australia just had a massive jump in IT jargon, well, sort of LOL! DDoS is now a thing you hear punters inserting into a conversation, so are servers, hacks and more.

When two tribes go to war – and punters don’t care...

I’ll admit it, I’ve loved watching all the recriminations from both pollies and media pundits as to WTF! Happened with this election. Hell, I even watched Bolt last night just for the jollies of seeing Conservative mouth-pieces twist in the wind LOL!

PM's sin of omission, twice, damn right it's political!

NBN AFP craptacular mistakathon leaves us with an extraordinary volume of questions

This recent extraordinary furore involving the AFP and NBN co is a perfect storm of all that is wrong in our current system – and I’m not just speaking politically.

Over $4m reasons why PM Turnbull won’t countenance RC into Banking & Finance

Actually that is a rough estimate of the money donated to the Coalition at the last election by the banks and Finance sector, in reality, taking into account sketchy Foundations and the obscure naming of entities, is probably a lot more. Forget the ‘narrative’ we are hearing on [...]

If you can't control the kids Mr Turnbull then you are responsible for the damage

This week, we saw Malcolm Turnbull, the boss in Government tacitly condone the most abhorrent behaviour by not just members of the Senate and Parliament, but by members of his own team.

Happy Days! Abetz & Bernardi score own goal

OK When Tony Abbott was PM and announced he would kindly give the Australian public the courtesy of having a say on Marriage Equality with a plebiscite most of us knew it was utter bullshit and just a way to stop the momentum after the Irish & US decided that gays had the same rights as the rest of us [...]
