Rudd a Pooh puncher: video
At this juncture, we would like to remind Crikey readers that nominations are due this Thursday for our inaugural No Party Preferred Election Awards. Vote for your favourite moments in the following categories…
Errington: Two campaigns for the price of one
With six weeks to fill and few new ideas to grab the headlines, we seem to be having two campaigns at once – this year’s and a bonus campaign for 2010 – as the parties looks to inflate their policy price tags, writes Wayne Errington.
Rundle: No competing visions, just competing offers
No doubt the lights are burning and the heads are aching in Labor HQ as I write, as the wonks pour over such figures as are available, desperate to find a hole in the $34 billion great new tax giveaway, writes Guy Rundle.
Errington: Too little, too late, Mr Howard
As was the case with the government’s intervention in Northern Territory Aboriginal communities, the good intentions in John Howard’s speech last night have been met with justified cynicism in many parts of the community, writes Howard biographer Wayne Errington.
John Laws, your voice rocked my ovaries
John Laws, apparently, has done some Questionable Things. Although for the life of me, I can’t remember what these might have been. That is, of course, if I do not count the salient and truly awful memory of his poetry, writes Helen Razer.
