Our latest podcast is getting great feedback (from my family!)

My dad, Peter Tangey, joined us to hear about Chorkles' testimony to the Victorian Royal Commission into Communism.

We also discuss some family drama when Dad tells the story of some ALP-DLP split induced biffo at his house.

It’s time for them to grow up.

The government’s plan may not be perfect, but it’s a start after decades of malaise and neglect from both sides of politics.

The Greens had better watch themselves.

Wedge politics can backfire spectacularly.

Just ask the Australian Democrats.

Just more of the same in li’l ol’ .

Her “new” 10-month old Government has become deaf.

That’s when the rot sets in.

They’re making life harder for ordinary people.

Tax Cuts $256 billion + $368 billion = $624 billion in cuts to services.

Next thing you know, they’ll raise the GST, further shifting the tax burden on to the poor.

is no more.

TRULY AHEAD OF HIS TIME…
BARRY JONES was way ahead of his Australian Labor Party colleagues when Minister for Science in the Whitlam government of the 1970s.

Sometimes derided and disregarded by them, he was not only their intellectual superior, he was different to them and to other politicians because, being science literate, an author and a futurist, he looked ahead beyond the next election cycle.

Jones created Australia’s Commission for the Future as a forum to analyse trends and think about their likely impact on society.

His book, Sleepers, Wake! Technology and the Future of Work, has been reprinted a number of times.

No politician has since equalled his scientific literacy.

Any Australians here remember Barry?

The government appears to have secured the support of the Greens and Senator Pocock on the secure jobs better pay bill.

Senator Pocock's amendments in this thread:

have reportedly secured protections for the better off overall test (BOOT), and an enforceable right for workers to demand unpaid parental leave.
