Griffith is awash in political combat. Yesterday it was KRudd, today it’s his Liberal opponent, Bill Glasson who is out on the ground. I didn’t deliberately shoot the shot from this angle, but unfortunately for Bill, the traffic signs aren’t on his side, and I’m afraid are probably accurate.

Does Kevin Rudd know something that the rest of us don’t? This photo was taken in downtown Coorparoo today. I hadn’t heard there was an election on, but you never know. Kevin has certainly been hyperactive lately.

It’s a cheap ad, with low production values, but this doesn’t mean it won’t do damage to Campbell Newman. 700 of these ads are supposed to air before Christmas, and they are being partially financed by Clive Palmer. What is the point? I’m not sure. The ads don’t have a call to action and merely […]

I’ve been vaguely amused at the orchestrated nonsense coming out of the climate science community to coincide with the Doha Climate Change Conference, most particularly the claim that we are now on track for an increase of temperature of 4 to 6 degrees by the year 2100. Cranking up the hysteria like this means not […]

Not for you, of course. And not for your enterprise. What is intended, should the proposal for the expansion of control of the Internet by the International Telecommunications Union proceed, is a set of binding obligations on content providers that will make the Internet more costly for everyone.

The proposed royal commission into child abuse is likely to disappoint many of the victims pushing for its establishment and achieve very little, particularly if it is like the Irish Ryan Commission. The scope of the proposed commission is huge. By proposing to investigate child abuse across the country it will involve 7 states, two […]

All hail the Chief! Better luck this time, baby, and maybe take climate change seriously. Someone can perhaps tell me whether it was Louis the XIV or XV who correctly saw what was coming. Obama II is hopefully as prescient. While there is lots of hoopla about Hurricane Sandy influencing votes at the end of […]

Long Beach Island New Jersey was where I came of age. It was where I had one of my first waitressing jobs, my first hangover, even my first car prang. It was a great place to be a teenager heading off for college. Of course, being part of NJ, and just north of Atlantic City, […]

Prime Minister Gillard take note. This is what you do when you are honest or have nothing to hide and become aware of illegal activity affecting your organisation: POLITICAL donations from a private investment company with links to former Queensland senator Santo Santoro and top bureaucrat Michael Caltabiano have been referred to police for investigation by […]

Julia Gillard tied Australia’s engagement with Asia to the NBN, and particularly its development of language skills. The government’s tactic is pretty clear. Wrench control of the agenda from Tony Abbott using the gender wars, and then launch a fresh agenda framed around key head nods while he is still trying to justify himself. This […]
