Has there ever been a more spectacular dummy-spit than that performed by Costello over the last couple of days?

Uninteresting times may be boring, but they're a hell of a lot safer
Agreed; but it is Australia we’re talking about here.

I think there’s something a bit sad about what’s happened in Australian politics.
There has always been something colourful about them. Having a prime minister being picked up by a Chinese submarine started my fascination with them, followed in the next decade by the drama of the Whitlam sacking (“Malcolm Fraser is the cutlery man. Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he’s been knifing people in the back ever since”)
Then onto Fraser himself; a term highlighted by his palpable contempt of Muldoon and the line “Life was never meant to be easy”.
Hawke, the lovable rogue, the staggeringly arrogant Keating, and their feud was great to watch.
But then what’s happened? A phenomenally bland Howard whose only point of interest was his mean-spirited cynicism, and now this bland smirking evangelistic who I note has an identical haircut to John Key.
I want the old style ocker politician back.

Palmer now walks around the Wellington waterfront after a hard day's thinking in a mid-grey suit and running shoes.
Good sensible man.

Anyone who doesn’t realise that Geoffrey Palmer was a former Labour Prime Minister doesn’t deserve to be allowed to vote.

It wasn’t a stunt to promote the 30th anniversary of “Sleeping Dogs”, was it?

It seems to be the MSM who keep bleating on about it all and the meltdowns happening around us...er, where exactly?
The Heathrow Hilton.

Hadyn,
That post was going so well until you started comparing the pulling power of S14 “stars” with that of David Beckham :)

ANY cricket tour of more than 2 tests seems like a luxury these days…
One of the things I’ve liked about this RWC (the best ever IMHO) is that with the teams developing (or going backwards in a couple of cases) you get to know the teams and their players, and see how it all evolves.
You used to be able to do that in those long tours too.

Big tours every 8-10 years aren’t sustainable these days.
The “product” (Pay TV) must have something EVERY year. That way they keep the NRL honest.
