Bill Hartley died on the weekend, aged 75. He will be missed very much, by many people from across Australia and beyond. I shall miss him.He came over to Victoria from Western Australia in the 1960s to head the Victorian branch of the ALP, and by the 1970s his name was synonymous with the socialist hardline group. Above all, he was a passionate defender of workers' rights, a man who devoted his

P.S Did I hear this right? Tony Abbott, failed catholic priest, will reign if he doesn't get his way - good enough THERE were no conspicuous celebrations; the abortion issue is far too serious, sensitive and contentious to accommodate whoops, hollers and hugs.Instead, most senators seemed drawn and relieved as the bill to end Tony Abbott's veto over RU486 passed, comfortably in the end, by 45

Razzie Awards; Tom "I am not Gay" Cruise has been nominated for a Razzie Award. I second the nomination heartily.Cruise was nominated in the worst actor category for War of the Worlds, alongside Will Ferrell for Bewitched.Son of the Mask, the sequel to The Mask, but minus its star Jim Carrey, earned eight nominations including worst film and actor for Jamie Kennedy.

The one day of summer I have a picnic planned. It's been hot, from 38 -43 degrees celsius, (up to 110F) and, with bushfires raging through the State, we have had days of total fire ban. OK, no firecrackers for New Year's Eve, and the barbecue must be electric. No worries.What happens? The sky opens up with 48 hours of rain. Noah would have been checking to see if the seams on his boat were

It hasn't been a particularly pleasant Australia Day today. Bushfires all over. Three people have died so far, and more than 130,000ha – that's an area bigger than Hong Kong – have been destroyed along with homes and property, while more than 59,000 sheep and cattle have been killed. Why do people live in bushfire-prone areas and not make their places bushfire-safe? Sometimes you can't avoid

Bare necessities for Train Travel; On Monday, the railways in China transported 3.8 million people. But more are expected to be travelling on Friday, making the journey somewhat uncomfortable.

How to terminate a cane toad After a pleasant read of my tenant's resources in the Pond Perspective (there are some great little quizzes in there) I thought I should impart a very important piece of information, handy for travellers, so keep it in mind for next time you stroll outside for a spot of Nature and spot a whacking great cane toad staring at you.

Unclog your Blog blockI was browsing through Blog Explosion earlier and was dismayed by the a number of bloggers with Blog Block. "Nothing much has happened" and "Sorry I haven't posted for a while", while a third one reads "I can't seem to get into writing today". Is this a contagious outbreak or just a small touch of apathy? Just for those who suffer a little clogging, here's the all-new

Don't mention Global Warming whatever you do.For whatever reason we have just experienced some pretty hot days. The temperature wobbled around between 39 - 43 degrees celsius. That's 100 to 110 in the old fahrenheit. It was Billy Connolly who said 'There's no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing' and he was right. I don't mind lounging about in a sarong, sipping iced tea inside

Peasants ignited by vodka shortage. Riots are feared in Russia after a new law forced vodka distilleries to halt production.The new regulations, which were instigated on January 1, stipulate that every distillery must have computerised equipment for measuring alcohol levels, a move which caught the big distilleries by surprise and brought nationwide production to a standstill.After more than two

It's almost unbelievable. The people of Chile have elected their first female president. More importantly, Michelle Bachelet is a single mother and a survivor of Pinochet's torture. That makes her victory even sweeter, because she has defied the worldwide trend of the single-mother-hating radical right, which in country after country has initiated coups and fixed elections to install governments
