Royal Commission Witch Hunt
$100 million and 1 year, apparently. I can’t make up my mind about this royal commission into the Trade Unions. On the one hand, we have the Labor Party leader Bill Shorten dismissing it as a political witch-hunt, a complete … Continue reading
Labor Sex-Appeal
Pity poor Rudd. After Abbott compliments Liberal candidate Fiona Scott for having sex-appeal, Rudd’s at a loss what to do. We need to respond in kind, I tell him. A Labor equivalent needs to be quickly found to prove to … Continue reading
Rudd Vs Abbott Debate
Not long to go before the big TV debate. All Rudd has to do is to pretend he’s not a fraud. All Abbott has to do is to pretend he’s not a jerk. Whoever wins tonight will go up in … Continue reading
The Greens – Final Thoughts
Quite taken aback today to hear the news that Charlotte Church would prefer to ‘poke her eyes out with sticks’ rather than appear on the UK’s X-Factor judging panel. Astounded, in fact, to realise that she would be the first … Continue reading

Clive’s Weiner
It’s rare that I’d ever recommend anyone following the regular American habit of exposing their genitals to draw attention to themselves but, with Clive Palmer, it might just work. In secret talks with the billionaire mining magnate, I explore the … Continue reading
Tweedledum and Tweedledee
Off with the PM and his wife on the weekend for another bout of electioneering and photo-ops. This time, Afghanistan. And why not? Shopping centre excursions and shaking hands with the locals are out this trip, Kevvie advises Therese, who … Continue reading
Gay-Marriage – A Solution
A moment of madness with our mad Emperor-in-waiting this morning. The PNG Manus Island refugee solution is starting to show major fractures, and on TV Rudd looks as though he’s likely to fall apart at the seams very soon. Wildly … Continue reading
