Rudd's apology a calculating act

Monday, 16 November 2009 2:06 P GMT+10

Interesting that Rudd's apology to "the forgotten Australians" is described as "emotional". I'm sure heaps of people were sooking up in the crowd, but he sounded creepily cold as he always does. He always tries to give emo

Sorry day in Denmark

Saturday, 16 February 2008 1:52 A GMT+10

Australia isn't the only country in the world where saying sorry for wrongs you never committed is fashionable. Denmark is experiencing a similar phenomenon. One sensitive soul was so appalled by the insensitivity of Danish newspaper

Kevin Rudd, the new Mr Sheen

Friday, 15 February 2008 1:58 P GMT+10

Like many I have enjoyed Bill Leak's representation of Kevin Rudd as TinTin. But I've always thought that Rudd had more in common with another, lesser known cartoon character called Mr Sheen. Now that Rudd has, with his momentous

A thought on assimilation

Wednesday, 13 February 2008 10:31 P GMT+10

Just watched Lateline. There was a debate between Gerard Henderson and the insufferably smug Henry Reynolds. Reynolds wheeled out the ol' PC point that the assimilationist policies of the past were designed to make the Aborigines &quo

A sad, sorry day for Indigenous Australians

Pilger gets it right!

Tuesday, 12 February 2008 11:43 A GMT+10

Something weird is happening. I actually find myself agreeing with John Pilger. See, he reckons the upcoming national apology to Aborigines is meaningless; "for whites only". That's certainly true. (And it's

Labor's apology to be worth nothing

Tuesday, 15 January 2008 7:36 P GMT+10

One thing that I've learned about fluffy wuffies is that they will choose symbolism over action every time. They'll quack on endlessly about global warming but leave bigger carbon footprints than most. They'll carp about sexis

Indigenous Affairs in a sorry state

Wednesday, 12 December 2007 1:53 P GMT+10

Nothing illustrates the idiocy of fluffy wuffy sanctimony than this story. Jenny Macklin and Kevin Rudd are about to apologize for the removal of Aboriginal children in the past while wringing their hands over a recent event that resulted&

Roxon, Banton and Tony's atonement

Thursday, 1 November 2007 12:49 A GMT+10

Just a thought on Tony Abbott's double grovel: Was interesting that Bernie Banton graciously accepted Abbott's apology. But Nicola Roxon did not. She took advantage of his lateness, mocking him when he wasn't there,
