I am a fan of Bob Ellis’s writings. I have enjoyed most of his political books though have been embarrassed for him over his attempts to write about economics. Following his stuff on Unleashed over the past few months, I feared he was losing his touch. But today he is back in form.
I still disagree with much of what Ellis writes, but he writes it so well that he has to be admired. And this piece is not too far wrong in his explanations of much of the dopiness that the government is displaying and in his advice to Gillard. I am not sure she has to get married, though, and expelling Kamahl as a Tamil overstayer is not the best idea Ellis has ever had.
Still, Ellis in entertaining and, for one on the left, quite insightful.
