I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
Well Torvill watch out anyway. Why? Because my kids are taking up skating. Actually I doubt the older will be much use… much as I love her she is simply to ‘wooden’ and refuses to try new moves in case she gets hurt! The youngest by comparison is constantly practicing and trying out new stuff … More Torvill and Dean watch out!
It’s hard to belive that someone in the position of Attorney-General of Australia could possibly not only condone the use of torture but actually bemoan the creation of laws expressly forbidding it, yet this is what our Attorney-General Philip Ruddock has said. In his opinion banning torture will hinder the fight against terrosism! What the … More Philip Ruddock – terrorist?
Anyone who enjoys reading and watching the Harry Potter series of books and movies might be interested in this short interview with the girl chosen to play the part of Luna Lovegood in the forthcoming movie “Order of the Phoenix”.

In the light of the excessive remuneration received by Sol Trujillo we have to question the amounts recently awarded to the CEO of Qantas. Ok they *are* holding their own internationally and are one of the few airlines to be making a profit, howeve they are also in the process of moving 300+ IT jobs … More Qantas CEO, Geoff Dixon – another rort?

In a less than surprising announcement, Victoria Beckham, aka Posh Spice, has told the the world she is quitting the music industry and will take no further part in it.

According to News.com, one of Telstra boss Sol Trujillo’s top managers is accusing the government of running a “a “vile and vicious” personal campaign against the Telstra CEO”. As if they’d need to.

Lucky us. Peter Costello, our Treasurer, has unveiled the final budget surplus which is one billion dollars *more* that he’d anticipated sucking out of us. Seems the surplus for 2005 – 06 is a total of AU$15.8 billion dollars. So which bum is the Treasurer? In the meantime hospitals are closing, schools are underfunded and … More Peter Costello sucks us dry.
You may have noticed I’ve started to move away from the ‘pure text’ offerings of the past and started adding photos. This is really because I think there are some things that require a permanent photographic record and while I’ve strained to *not* do it I suppose fighting against the tide just puts me in … More Images?
Conspiracy theories abound on the web but there are times when you really have to wonder if there is some truth in some. A case in point is the release in Australia of the Reva Electric Car. This wonderful bit of kit is built in India and has been selling well all around Europe. It’s … More Electric Car – conspiracy?
