Miranda Devine – stating the obvious

Ms Devine has a habit of penning some enticing lines, I mean the topic of Gen Y and politics seems enticing as does her exploration of the Green Police ad that screened during the US Super Bowl but her article simply fail to deliver anything new.

When Labor came to power in 2007 only the [...]

Auntie Gertrude alerted me to this luvly little video…

a sunday muse

In case there is any doubt left in the world, the last two days of rain have finally washed away the last vestiges of support for the rather silly idea that mankind’s addiction to carbon based energy is somehow heating up the planet.

What’s that you say? Two days of rain doesn’t make for a cooling [...]

Turnbull's Wikipedia hack

Around 12.48pm Oz eastern time someone really thought Malcolm’s days as opposition leader were over. SBSnews tweeted the joy around that time but soon after Malcolm narrowly defeated the shadows in his own party his Wikipedia page reverted to its former glory.

So what can we do?

The options don’t look that promising do they. Carbon emissions and notional budgets mean diddly squat when it comes to the really serious business of making money despite the fact that the planet clearly headed for disaster. The first order of business (sorry bad pun) is what replaces the 40 or so GW’s of coal [...]

Cars versus…

In the news this morning, which I do usually read while drinking my coffee, I noticed yet another tragic accidental death in Melbourne involving a car and a pedestrian which in turn reminded me of the Miranda troll earlier in the week about cars and bike riders. Now I ride my bikes, have done for [...]

Cities in planning spotlight | The Australian

Jeez Kev I though you might have talked about the what it means for people instead of how important it is for “the prosperity of our economy”. Has anyone else noticed just how inculcated the notion of “our economy” has become in everyday speech. Garrett was prancing around at the National Press Club yesterday, talking [...]
