Beazley - Me Too

Kim Beazley’s contribution to the anti-terror laws debate (such as it is) is to join with the Government, and add his own twist, combining racial vilification laws with the anti-terror ones.
Yet another example of his lack of direction and the rabble that is Labor. (Some of the MPs do make valid points individually though.)

David Hicks

4 Corners tonight had a story about David Hicks, the Australian Al-Quaeda fighter held by the US at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.
Among other things the program covered allegations of torture and rape at the hands of American interrogators.

Everything about MJ is weird, so whats new?

Politicians out of touch with the real world

Interesting article in today’s Age about the jobs of federal politicians before they entered Parliament.
I’ve posted before about the fact that Labor has too many members who have come from make believe jobs such as union organisers, political advisers etc, and this is borne out in the article.
To quote from Michelle Grattan’s piece:
Of the 187 […]

Gun Control

Recent statistics show a rise in gun ownership despite tight gun control laws having been in force for the best part of a decade. The number of firearms has risen something like 25% in the last 3 years.
Nationwide, the proportion of robberies involving weapons is the same as it was in 1996, while the proportion […]

Battle of the Bands

My son’s school had a battle of the bands type competition during the week. A number of student bands played and a winner was decided …not sure how (audience acclaim? music teacher judgement?).
I was thinking today it would be funny if a bunch of kids just got on stage and randomly made noise …total improvisation, […]

Cheney’s Aide Indicted

US Vice President Dick Cheney’s Chief of Staff, Lewis Libby, has been indicted by the special prosecutor investing the leaking of CIA agent, Valerie Plame Wilson’s identify to the media.
The charges against him are:
