Over The Bridge

As we caught the L90 bus to Collaroy today, we travelled through the federal electorates of Warringah and Mackellar. Both have been safe Liberal seats for many years, but for possibly the first time, Warringah (held by Tony Abbott) could vote next weekend for an Independent, Zali Steggall. I suspect a mate of mine who … Continue reading Over The Bridge

Quieter Weekend

It's Sunday night and I've just turned off Fox News. Hillary has conceded and the panel of commentators are now examining the entrails. They're not saying anything particularly interesting or imaginginative, or anything I haven't already thought of myself, so I've hit the off switch.

Bald Archy Bright Spark

Thanks to some bright spark at the ABC who seized an opportunity when he saw one, the satirical art competition, The Bald Archy Prize has found a home in Sydney this year. Normally on display at the QVB, the space is undergoing a renovation this year. Instead, the exhibition opens at the ABC's Ultimo Centre … Continue reading Bald Archy Bright Spark
