UPDATE: Yes. Well… That didn’t last long, did it? Ruddock says no independent assessment. And now it looks like they’ll be asking for one after all. Talk about a crumbling house of cards. What kind of way is this to carry out policy? One minister says one thing. Another minister contradicts. It’s on again. It’s off […]

Australia in Iraq, Post-invasion iraq, US issues - 13 Comments » - Posted on January, 31 at 11:20 am
Opponents of the Iraqi invasion and occupation are at risk of being sidelined in contemporary discussion by the argument that runs something like this: It doesn’t matter now if we were right or wrong to invade, if we ‘fail’ now it will cause great problems for our country in the future. Therefore we need to […]

Call it the 2-week camping trip I’m just back from. Call it getting a little older. But I’m definitely getting a little slower lately, in the ”getting it” department.
I’d been wondering why the Federal government wouldn’t ban, or even make much noise about banning Hizb ut-Tahrir. After all, these guys reckon they’re going to turn Australian into a […]

Mr. Justice Henderson writes in the SMH today:
The media campaigning for Hicks continues with The Age, the Canberra Times and sections of the ABC out in front. The Sunday Age has even initiated a “Bring Hicks Home” campaign. Only the journalist Imre Salusinszky and a couple of columnists have spoken out against Hicks, who changed his […]

(I hope that readers will forgive me for a bit of self-indulgence, if I repeat an entry from my own blog.)
Trevor Allan died at the weekend. He was 80 and died peacefully at home, according to the report. I hope that it was so.

No way the ALP is gunna let the government make the running in an election year. It’s not gunna be accused of being ‘Coalition Lite’. When it comes to Australian security and defending our values, the Rudd Opposition is more than happy to make common cause with Peter Debnam’s NSW Liberal Party. Both, it appears, are […]

… or maybe not, when it comes to politicians. Everything is spun so dizzyingly that you can’t really tell whose company they keep.

I’m just back from 10 days away camping (my wife’s idea, as she reckons it’s good for the soul).
We went with the two grandsons. One of them learned to bodysurf, the other to ride a bike and how to key in the abloution block “open sesame” code (although he still preferred what he called the “Automatic […]
