Hot of the screen, here’s a presser from the Friends of the ABC. Looks like a negotiation position, the libs will drop the “restriction on the appointment of former politicians etc” if labor drops “the staff-elected director position”. Can’t have staff on the board, must keep the workers in their place. I can smell a [...]  The background. ABC presser then Crikey in bed with Smart Company plus New Matilda and of course LP. So what monday! Chris Wallace takes an early break and misses the big media story of the day. Mark at LP dips out on a plumb gig over at Aunty and Crikey gets set for shake-up, meanwhile Media [...] It’s all about institutionalising the young, get them used to the process…which reminds me of the new police stations that appeared in the top end after Little Johnny’s famous intervention. Apparently detention rates for aborigines in those areas have jumped since the forces of white law and order have arrived. Who would have thought?

Perennial [...] What do you say about plans to build a 1000m mountain in the middle of Berlin? The Berg. It seems the climate “debate” is degenerating while the sceptics representing the status quo are enjoying considerable success on the public opinion front which they in turn refer to as “proof” that AGW is not happening and we don’t need to worry about it. Funny how when public opinion favoured more action on the environment [...] Andrew Bolt is dining out big time on his stouch with the PM. Frankly it was stupid politics on the side of a PM to personally name a journalist especially one as cunning and conniving as Bolt who will exploit his notoriety to the max. If there is one thing a Murdoch journo understands it [...] Almost 3 months ago Anna WInter offered this opinion over at Larvatus Prodeo - it’s time for the annual discussion about the lack of women in the Australia political blogosphere. But with all the talk about how women are doing political blogging – they just aren’t being recognised – why is the question never: why are so [...] |
