This is why teachers made you read aloud
Remember reading groups at primary school? You sat in a group of same talented readers and read aloud to the group with the teacher listening. Really good readers hogged their go, reading beyond their allocated paragraph or page, especially if [...]
Three men and a government
The more I think about it the more I think Australia is going to end up with the government it deserves. No matter which party the independents support we are still going to have a minority government that is a by election away from collapse. And to [...]
Hung, drawn and slaughtered
I'll bet all those people who followed that idiot Mark Latham's suggestion to vote informally are feeling pretty stupid right now. Because in the closest federal election I have experienced in my life time, never has a vote been more important. I [...]
Things I won’t miss about this election campaign
Only one more sleep to go. Only one more sleep till you cast your vote and we find out who our PM is. Will it be Julia Gillard? Will it be Tony Abbott? Whomever it is I just hope you vote properly and ignore the advice of that idiot Mark Latham [...]

Come back Masterchef. I need my fix.
Gosh, it's only been one night and already I'm missing Masterchef. Such a lovely show, and a powerful one--caused a time shift for the great political debate--now that's people power. I actually tried to watch the great political debate. Julia [...]
Letter to Julia
Dear Julia I know it's only been a few short weeks since you've become Prime Minister but what a lot you've achieved in that time. You've called an election, spent many long hours formulating new policies that you hope will get you [...]
Come out, come out wherever you are
So we've got an election coming up on 21 August. Great, everyone says. Now we've got to go and bloody vote. That will me and you, but there are 1/2 million eligible people who will not be voting because they can't be bothered. Poor pets. Too busy [...]
