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 [...] Out of the mist …an image by suburbanbloke Australia, like most countries in the world, nominates a particularly significant day to symbolise the modern nation state. The modern nation that is Oz has its origins as a penal colony founded by the British who decided that the country was simply [...] A week ago the Libs looked like a rabble, then they spent the week proving it and now, after a bit of a break and a nice night’s sleep they wake up an elect TONY ABBOTT as their leader? Barry Cassidy summed it up with Annabel Crabb on the rather extravagant ABC coverage of the #spill; [...] On Tuesday when the Libs kick out the petulant Malcolm Turnbull for his blatant disregard of Nick Minchin’s point of view there will ensue a small tussle between the hard right of the Liberal Party represented by the mad monk, Tony Abbott or possibly, all-time funny man Kevin Andrews and the “popular front bencher” and [...] It seems that the government’s plan to achieve structural separation of Telstra are not going to make it through the Senate this year. Hours of debate over the CPRS (Continue Polluting Regardless Scheme) has meant the bills will now sit in the todo list until next year. Of course the bills were part bluff to start [...] While Julie Posetti wants us to believe in the power of the twitterverse to achieve significance in the way news is reported, I think her comments overlook some aspects of how news is made and she asserts a significance for twitter which seems to gloss over some of the “noisy” aspects of that particular internet [...] Over 18 months ago the fearless poetry spouting leader of the ABC, Mark Scott made quite a splash about another jewel in the Ultimo crown, a so-called continuous news centre. This worthy initiative was mean to herald a 24hr news service to all Australians, not just those who are prepared to pay for Sky News. [...] 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. A contrite and conciliatory Mr Turnbull will now have the clearly divided support [...] 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? I [...] |
