Australian Politicians Looking Like Twits – Twitter And Facebook Used For Decision Making

Are The Greens Really Interested In Climate Change?
I have to wonder how green the Greens are when it comes to politics. And I don’t mean green as in novice – I mean green as in environmental. We have a situation now in Australia where the Government wants to go down a particular path in a...
The Economic Recovery Is Actually Costing Me Money
The world economy is a strange animal sometimes. We have just experienced one of the worst – yet on of the quickest – recessions in many decades. I wonder if former treasurer Paul Keating would label this the recession we had to have. He ...

The Politics Of Iran – Why I Don’t Care
That may be a strange statement given the banner that will fly on this page throughout September. In all honesty – I don’t particularly care about the politics of Iran, or any other country really, even though I am a political person. I h...
Is Kevin Rudd Trying To Outlaw Home Births?
Giving birth! What could be more natural. Women have been doing it for ten’s of thousands of years – without doctors. The only help they had was from other women who had been through it all before – the original midwives. The Austr...
Majority Of Bloggers Wont Be Affected By FTC
A recent announcement from the FTC that implied that bloggers that wrote pay for post articles could be in trouble may just turn out to be a storm in a tea cup. For the majority of bloggers, including those that do write pay for post articles, the cr...
When Has Raising Taxes Helped A Recession?
The Australian government has recently announced the budget for the 2009-2010 financial year - as a budget, it wasn’t too bad. Raising the old age pension has been on the cards for ten years now - I am surprised it has taken this long to implem...
FTC To Shut Down Pay For Posts - Will Bloggers Become Criminals?

The New Car Concept Is Flawed
There is a big move here in Australia and, I suspect, the rest of the world, to produce small fuel efficient hybrid cars. I believe they are looking at a $15-$20,000 market. The average family car is priced in the $30-$40,000 range so they are look...
