  • Bob rules, OK?

    Since September the government of this country isn’t taking place in parliament, but is being driven from a Green Star Chamber. Things are decided by Bob, but Julia cops the flack.

    Science stormtroopers are planning to kill off computers, camels and common-sense as they float wind farms above our heads, and promulgate plans to protect the planet from sunshine.

  • Planking for Australia

    The trick with political planking is to act with concern while actually being as thick as a plank. How could a fairly rational nation (as we were under the very watchful eye of John Howard) turn into such a ratbag country that we are now — and in less than five years?

  • Leftland is angry

    The extraordinary thing about the venomous attack on Chris Uhlmann and the ABC’s 7.30 program, was that the critics were absolutely right. The old Kerry O’Brien 7.30 Report is well and truly buried.

  • A bye-bye election, please!

    The sea-Greens, the forest Greens, the gay-Greens, the boat-people Greens and, as yet to arrive from NSW, the dark Greens. Kermit was wrong. Being Green is easy, once you control the Senate.

  • As good as it gets

    What a week. The unhappiness on the faces of Australia’s bourgeois progressives,who inhabit the sneering side of the nation’s media, made the royal wedding perfect.

  • Carbon capers

    Charles Manson, of the 1969 Sharon Tate murders fame, has come out in favour of human-induced climate change— or as he likes to put it, global warming. And he’s not happy about what’s going on; not one bit!
