Introduction John has been commenting on political and current affairs in Australia since 2006. Before that he discussed some of these issues with family & friends. Now, he comments on this blog. He has a strong interest in Australian politics (National & State)... John is concerned about the ethics of Governments and politicians, and is driven by a strong sense of social justice. His politics are best defined as centrist, but vary between centre-right and centre-left. He has no affiliation, direct or indirect, with any political party. Quotes I Like: 1) "You're only young once, but you can be immature forever." 2) "you have 2 ears and 1 mouth: use them in that proportion"
Interests Fitness, politics, reading, cricket The purposes of this blog are to: 1) analyse selected Australian political events. The reason for doing this is because too many voters and media outlets accept politicians' statements at face value, along with the sometimes token analysis by tabloid media. Indeed, in recent times, commercial television "current affairs" in Australia has become nothing more than tabloid TV. 2) publish other selected thoughts about Australian current affairs.
