Rudd's apology a calculating act

Monday, 16 November 2009 1:05 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

Golliwogs now an endangered species

Monday, 19 October 2009 1:48 P GMT+10

The Hey Hey It's Saturday! blackface furore made paranoid shop owners move their golliwogs to the back shelves. Understandably, some think the reaction is unjustified. Store owner Diarne Revelle is quoted in the story above: "Kids aren't

Right-wing street theatre in Sri Lanka

Tuesday, 6 October 2009 1:15 P GMT+10

In Sri Lanka, street theatre will be used to warn people of the dangers of trying to enter Australia illegally by boat. Now that's gotta be a first! I mean, the medium was invented by dirty, smelly hippies with no talent to inflict their moronic

Perth plod's monkey madness

Wednesday, 26 August 2009 1:12 P GMT+10

Over in Perth, a bloke pretending to be a monkey has been arrested by a bloke pretending to be a policeman . Kind of ironic, since that city has more than its fair share of criminal rock apes running free.

Nice work if you can't get it

Monday, 24 August 2009 1:20 P GMT+10

We all despise "dole bludgers" who sit around on their fat arses doing sweet far call, having all their needs met by the state. Well there's another variation on willful unemployment that is even more lucrative: panhandling. Take K

It's because they suck

Sunday, 23 August 2009 2:17 P GMT+10

Still more agonizing over our pathetic film "industry". Here a hack poses the old question: Why can't Aussie movies pull a crowd when they are so critically lauded?Answer: because they suck. See, Australian film-makers don't make mo

Swine flu in Sydney

Saturday, 18 July 2009 12:14 P GMT+10

As global pandemics go, swine flu is a really strange one. For a while there it was all over the front pages. Everyone was talking about it and basically packin' death. Turned out a few poor bastards here on Oz had caught it. But the numbers were

Feminist naval gazing

Sunday, 5 July 2009 1:41 P GMT+10

While the fact that sailors on the HMAS Success were competing to shag as many women as possible is definitely not a good look, I do think that some people are over-reacting a tad. Melinda Tankard-Reist, for instance, says:"I don't believe t

Gay jokes on The Footy Show

Thursday, 28 May 2009 12:48 P GMT+10

Matthew Johns, the boofhead the squitterati love to hate, is embroiled in a new controversy. This time, he's provoked the ire of the gay community with a "homophobic" skit on The Footy Show. Says gay rights activist Gary Burns:“Yo

Andrew Mallard accepts payment

Tuesday, 26 May 2009 12:39 P GMT+10

Andrew Mallard still isn't happy, even though he has accepted the West Australian Government's offer of over three million bucks. (He originally requested over seven million.) But what's the diff between $7.25 million and $3.25 mill

Cottesloe icon gone

Saturday, 23 May 2009 7:47 P GMT+10

Anyone who has been to pictaresque Cottesloe beach will remember the pylon situated near the groin. I often surfed at that beach when I was a young grommet decades ago, and caught waves only metres from it numerous time. Last time I went there, a cou

Everyone's offended!

Friday, 22 May 2009 12:37 P GMT+10

The Matthew Johns scandal reveals how morally confused Australia is now. And here's another example: Not long ago, Christians were deeply offended by posters of the Virgin Mary sporting a cranial penis. Not to be outdone, Aussie prossies ha

Andrew Mallard

Saturday, 9 May 2009 2:55 P GMT+10

Andrew Mallard, who was wrongfully convicted for murder and spent 12 years in the slammer, has been offered over three million bucks in compensation. Yet he reckons it's not enough. While the poor bastard went through hell, justice was even

Beach butt ban

Saturday, 9 May 2009 11:41 A GMT+10

Smoking will be banned practically everywhere in WA, including between the flags on beaches. Bizzare. And what'd be the point? Smoking while swimming is practically impossible anyway ...

Everybody loves Ray

Wednesday, 29 April 2009 2:08 P GMT+10

Just learned that my old schoolmate Ray Costarella has wowed 'em at Australian Fashion Week. It seems he hasn't yet got a Wikipedia entry. He certainly deserves one. Any contributors out there who want to start a page for him?

Sydney the best city in Oz?

Tuesday, 28 April 2009 2:42 P GMT+10

So Sydney is the best place to live in Australia, according to this survey. Sorry, but I can't agree with this assessment. Sydney is a fantastic place, no doubt about it. But it's also extremely crowded, frenetic and grotty. Perth and Melbour

Fantastic Aussie doco

Wednesday, 15 April 2009 12:57 P GMT+10

For any film buff out there, you've just gotta have a look at Not Quite Hollywood. It's a rollicking doco about the much maligned "Ozploitation" flicks of the seventies and eighties. The doco opened in the cinemas not so long

Another occidental fall

Monday, 26 January 2009 11:06 P GMT+10

Re those spooky Perth plunges: there's just been one more.Alien spacecraft will be landing on the Narrows Bridge shortly, I suspect. (Thanks to Spot the Blog for the link.)

Dodson does a Scutt

Monday, 26 January 2009 11:54 A GMT+10

One thing you can be sure of with fluffy wuffies: they'll always wanna have it both ways. Take Aboriginal activist Pat Dodson. Immediately after being named Australian of the Year, he had the temerity to suggest that the date for Australia Day be

The Bogan from Logan (a poem)

Wednesday, 7 January 2009 2:28 P GMT+10

The Mayor of Logan, Pam Parker, has excluded the town's most famous export, supermodel Catherine McNeil, from a celeb-rich advertising campaign. Why? Because the luscious uberspunk proudly identifies herself as the "Bogan from Logan".&

Bermuda Triangle for rock stars

Tuesday, 30 December 2008 2:23 P GMT+10

Pilots still get the jitters when flying near the island of Bermuda on account of all the planes that have mysteriously disappeared there. Now, the south west corner of Western Australia is well on its way to filling well known

Jackman and Kidman's very Australian hypocrisy

Thursday, 18 December 2008 3:39 P GMT+10

Nicole Kidman's windy faux pas on German TV and the squitterati's subsequent silence reveal several things about our craven PC culture. Firstly, both she and Hugh Jackman are hypocrites. I mean, you'd think that being so culturall

I'm warming to Rudd and Wong

Monday, 15 December 2008 1:02 P GMT+10

I never thought that I'd say this, but the PM and his Climate Change Minister have made my day. Their proposed 5 per cent cut to greenhouse gas emissions is wonderful. The sound of all the ferndies fulminating on the wireless is music t

Luhrmann benefits from Garrett's sour notes

Sunday, 14 December 2008 3:27 P GMT+10

Earlier, I postulated a theory that a coupla recent and well-publicized art attacks had a deeply personal bent. Arts Minister Peter Garrett, being so conspicuously talentless as both dancer and singer, was waging an undeclared war on performers poss

Airheads for Australia!

Thursday, 4 December 2008 3:22 P GMT+10

Listening to talkback over the last day or so, I've heard quite a few callers giving their thoughts on the movie Australia. A trend has definitely emerged: Those who were critical gave quite thoughtful responses. They weren't your usual gulli
