Revenge Of The Banana Benders
That’s how people in other states of Australia refer to Queenslanders. The state election on March 24, resulting in the biggest electoral loss for the Australian Labor Party in any election since the Second World War, says much about the … Continue reading

Agree Or Else Part II – The Silencing Of Dissent
Our God-Emperor beat me to it. The Australian Government’s Finkelstein Report, released last Friday, is the stuff of all freedom-loving people’s nightmares. It proposes the establishment of a new bureaucracy, the News Media Council, to “regulate” all forms of print … Continue reading

Chutzpah In The House

I’m sure you’re growing a little weary of the farce that Australian politics has become this last week. I’ll keep the previous thread going, with updates as they occur. If, as I suspect, moves begin in Cabinet against Gillard, I’ll … Continue reading
