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

Gap between truth and rhetoric

Thursday, 20 March 2008 11:02 P GMT+10

In yet another meaningless and symbolic act Kevin Rudd has pledged to "bridge the gap" between Aborigines and whites in Australia. Yeah, sure. At the same time, he's actively widening the gap with the re-introduction of th

Kevin Rudd, the new Mr Sheen

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

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

Labor's apology to be worth nothing

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

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&

"Oppressing them all over again"

Quite a while ago I met a social worker who expressed her misgivings about the rigid policy of placing at-risk Aboriginal kids with extended family, or kin.She was genuinely disturbed that the kids were missing out on being cared by compassionat

Intervention to be expanded

Saturday, 1 December 2007 7:44 P GMT+10
