There has long been a need for a competitor to GetUp. I’ve been involved in at least two attempts which have gone nowhere. Now Cory Bernardi is giving it a go. Good luck Cory, but the omens are not encouraging. For starters, you need to get some professionalism into your operation. Finding the site is […]

Wednesday, July 13th, 2016Q&A mistake a category killer
Thursday, June 25th, 2015By putting Zaky Mallah to air the ABC made a category mistake. They categorised an existential threat to Australia as being just an ideological disagreement. They are not the only ones making category mistakes about terrorism and terrorist organisations, and until we sort them out our response to Islamic State, and it’s certain successors, will […]
Continue Reading...You be the judge on Ferguson
Tuesday, March 31st, 2015The shooting of a young black male in Ferguson, and the ensuing riots, is generally portrayed as a racist event, but depending on where you stand, the racists can be white or black. Verbatim Theatre is a genre where you take the actual evidence and lay it out in front of an audience. In Ferguson […]

Nothing tough about trade-him-in Tony anymore
Friday, March 20th, 2015Tony Abbott has been portrayed as too tough and unfeeling by his enemies for as long as he’s been in parliament. This is wrong. Despite his obvious exercise discipline what we’re seeing at the moment is a Pavlova – brittle on the outside and soft in. If Abbott were tough then he would not now […]

Sunday, October 26th, 2014If 8,445 Australian bigots had their way, Bill Shorten would not have been a keynote speaker at the Australian Christian Lobby’s national conference and wouldn’t have been able to get the publicity for his view that: I believe in God and I believe in marriage equality Those 8,445 responded to an AllOut campaign and emailed Bill Shorten asking […]

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2014Imagine my surprise to see Gregory Storer and Michael Barnett starring in the first instalment of SBS’s Living with the Enemy. These are the two gay activists who tried to put On Line Opinion out of business four years ago costing us tens of thousands of dollars, editor Susan Prior her job, and now me my […]
Continue Reading...Stop trashing Tony
Thursday, June 12th, 2014What is it about Labor, and the left more generally, that it plays the person rather than the ball, and applies the techniques of social exclusion rather than logic and rational persuasion? And why does the media play along with Labor when it does? Tony Abbott is overseas representing Australia, and from what I can see, […]
Continue Reading...Minor parties plan assault on political duopoly
Friday, October 4th, 2013The election of Cathy McGowan in Indi has energised some minor and micro party supporters to become more professional. Whether they can have the same success remains to be seen, but they’re getting together to discuss how to use existing organisations and new technology to take on the major party duopoly. Calling themselves the Heart […]
Continue Reading...Paedophilia, climate science and the ABC
Saturday, November 24th, 2012In today’s Science Show Robyn Williams smears climate change sceptics by comparing scepticism of the IPCC view that the world faces catastrophic climate change because of CO2 emissions with support for paedophilia, use of asbestos to treat asthma, and use of crack cocaine by teenagers. Don’t believe me? Then listen to the broadcast. It is hard […]
Continue Reading...Newscorp split misses the point of convergence
Wednesday, June 27th, 2012Newscorp’s proposal to split into a TV and Entertainment company and a Publishing group seems to misunderstand what convergence means. In the digital world a newspaper is a television station and vice versa. I’m limiting myself in how I use of the word newspaper, because it implies that a print outlet needs paper, when it […]
