This is so satisfying
Old mate Mal on fire...
Shame he wasn't like that when he was PM.
Should he go and join the Labor party?
So he does have a spine after all.
Good article from that left leaning rag the SMH.

One of the best articles I've read all year, i was saying almost the same thing here not long ago. (they have just said it ten times better than i ever could)
Tom Switzer is left-leaning?
You got vertigo or something?
Sorry, but you're tripping if you think that Switzer is not partisan
Tom Switzer is the head of the Centre For Independent Studies, a right-wing think tank.
he presents "Between the Lines" on ABC RN. He's broadly centre right and has a range of viewpoints on there, mostly from centre left to classical conservative.
To be clear....well actually, to indulge my Monday morning procrastination...Mal and Kev are both A-grade wankers, of that there is no doubt. Yet all they did is put an issue on the table that's been simmering for a very long time. In the past it's been raised by people as close to the organisation as scion James Murdoch or longtime employee Tony Koch.
Tom Switzer makes no mention of that.
He also makes no mention of the 500,000+ people that signed Kev's petition - a record number apparently.
Switzer's played a classic hand of 'shoot the messenger'. It was a loaded piece of journalism, not at all balanced. It should also have been disclosed that he worked at The Australian for a decade.
Yeah for sure Tom Switzer is a conservative. I think he said in the article that he used to work for the Australian. His weekly program on RN is normally from a conservative viewpoint but they are moderate and a breath of fresh air on RN. SMH is still left leaning but they choose to publish a Tom Switzer column presumably to provide an alternative view which is a good thing, A bit like the Weekend Australian which publishes a weekly column by Phillip Adams.

nice to see there's still the odd person here and there that appreciates a little 'diversity' of opinion in our media landscape. wholeheartedly agree switzer is a breath of fresh air on RN. I love RN but geez the bubbleness can be nauseatng at times
I even don't mind amanda vanstone, I found vanstone way beyond nauseating when she was in politics, but quite enjoy her show on RN, ...except maybe that little soapbox thing shes does, that can be bit ewwww...
Peter Van Oslen opinion pieces in Australian also in contrast to the usual Gerald Henderson types that lurk there.

“Matt Kean doesn’t know what he’s talking about,” the prime minister said. “He doesn’t know what’s going on in the federal cabinet and most of the federal cabinet wouldn’t even know who Matt Kean was.”
Ha ha, fucking love it! Well, I guess they well and truly do now. And sounds to me from this Matt has a very clear idea of what is going on in federal cabinet. And he thinks it's a load of bollocks.
Great article. Great vision for what this country could be. And yes, we are related but I've only ever met Matt once at a family funeral.
Amazing to see a politician from the conservative side of government negotiate a deal like this at this time. If he can get this stuff across the line, in the face of a hostile federal government and media hysteria, and force real change it will be interesting to see where Matt ends up and whether those in cabinet who didn't know who he was are in a few years wishing they had paid more attention.
Nice one keano.
And how's that Mark Latham posturing. What a fulltime tosser that bloke is.
Good result and shows how important one person can be (as we know).
Here's an excellent overview of the federal circus in relation to 'climate change' action:
Good man Keano, he's well thought out.
He sees the massive change in the underlying economics going on.
An oldie but a goodie:
The pace of change is going to be fast.
I love it.
So good to see this, there!!
I remember in the 80’s & 90’s my mum pushing health food into me and assuring me the world will catch on.
I thought then that she would be wrong, just as I watch the current world momentum, and patterns are everything, and can’t see a lot other than blindboys shuffling of the titanic deck chairs. I’ve picked up my instrument, and I play.
But, avo is the new durry*, as we all know now, and maybe I will be wrong again.
This is the future, finally permeating into our current shit show. Into where it matters, the majority, and their leaders!
Long live intelligent human beings
* got nothing against anything, so long as it’s done in moderation
Moderation should be the golden rule with everything
if we (the vast majority ) cant make sudden dramatic changes our self's.... well fear the worst cause somebody else may decide to make sudden dramatic changes for us (the vast majority ). if you don't believe that scenario could happen ask yourself what would you do in a world of famine?
The way it's going you wont need a wetsuit in Victoria in the future...

Climate change is now so entrenched...
tbb can report it hasn't stopped raining heavily on Goldie all day & likely again tomorrow.
Tomorrow our city & neighbouring NSW regions will be in flood again as earlier in the month.
It is now just perfectly normal to live amongst or in flood devastated communities.
When it's not Flooding it's also very normal to fear record Storm & Bush Fires or Pandemic.
tbb also knows it's very normal for all your communities to equally live & fear exactly the same.
business as usual. onward we head
