Koala driven to drink
February 12, 2009 – 4:50 pm
It was only a matter of time before someone fiddled that koala photo.
Crikey editorial 12.02.09
February 12, 2009 – 2:09 pm
Senator BOB BROWN – Once again, the Greens do not endorse the notion that question time should be set aside because of the bushfire crisis. In fact, it is our belief that, when there are times of great national tragedy or other matters of great national moment, question time is all the [...]

A splendid tool in. No one tried to kill me on Bridge Road. Not once.
And what tunes, I hear you ask.
This was notable:

Tough questions in the fire coverage
February 11, 2009 – 10:13 am
Pictures just aired on Sky (so you’ll see them again later!) showing tearful reunions of anxious couples in the bushfire areas, people running to each other in tears having presumably spent the past few days lost in all sorts of ghastly speculations and wonderings.

Off the bike and onto the train. A somewhat more congested environment …

February 2, 2009 – 5:01 pm
Melbourne sweltered last week in ridiculous heat. This we know. There were power issues as demand on the local grid exceeded supply, suburbs blacked out, businesses lost stock, the frail and elderly suffered.
This has turned political. The government should, various parties argue, have been able to guarantee supply. All very well. I’d suggest another role [...]
