“Thinking” isn’t the A.L.P.’s strong point – which is why they appointed the likes of Christine Milne and Sarah Halfwit-Bung to do all their “thinking” for them.

Which just goes to prove that “thinking” isn’t the A.L.P.’s strong point!

Love your work, Up The Workers. Not crazy about your screen name (I’m in favour of people working), but who am I to judge what you mean?

South, if the absence of a Centrist Party is the problem, Rudd is NOT the answer.
Now go stand in the naughty corner for a week…

The time was never riper for Ruddy to break away and finally form that alternative centrist party people have been talking about for years. There’s still 8 months to go, plenty of time to organize. With discontent for the ALP at an all-time high and voters still not convinced the Coalition is the answer, what’s keeping him there? He must be almost certain of a comeback before September.

Though knowing Rudd, even if he did start a new party he’d probably ruin it by calling it the Aussie Fair Go Party or something stupid like that.

Gillard’s devotion to lying constitutes a health problem.

She is a morally sick person.

Another Savva line from the story that had me smirking Costello-style:

Roxon and Evans didn't sound like rats, but they certainly looked like them and smelled like them, and that was the only sniff test that counted. And if that's offensive, sorry, but I am not sorry.

As Mother G says above, Savva’s weekly opinion piece in the Oz contains more actual intelligence about what’s going on in Canberra than the rest of the week’s reading put together. When she was in the press gallery full-time for the Melbourne Herald-Sun, Savva was an old-fashioned toiler and foot soldier who understood (unlike the current Fairfax ferals, who flaunt their political activism) that if you kept your opinions to yourself, you had the best contacts and got the best scoops. The Fairfax disease can be traced back to the cost-cutting that went through the joint in the 1990s and early 2000s. Clowns like Andrew Jaspan actively encouraged the opinionisation of news as a half-arsed philosophy to paper over the void left by the decimation of staff numbers.
