Why nothing’s so gruesome as a state-funded movie
Date: January 20th, 2006 | No CommentsFrank Devine offers a refreshing commentary to the ‘emperor’s new clothes’ phenomenon surrounding Wolf Creek. Take out the blood, Devine says, and there’s not much there. Why nothing’s so gruesome as a state-fu [read more]

Campervans like you’ve never seen them before
Date: November 14th, 2005 | No CommentsThese vans are like, totally Wicked. No, really. That’s what they’re called: Wicked Campers. These brightly colored - and slightly risky - vans are geared for the under 30 market, although they draw a fair share of retirees as well. The company started near Brisbane, and now boasts nearly 300 vehicles [read more]
Australia: The Confusing Country
Date: July 8th, 2005 | 1 commentIt is interesting to note here that the Europeans always consider themselves vastly superior to any other race they encounter since they can lie, cheat, steal, and litigate (marks of a civilized culture, they say) whereas all the aboriginals can do is happily survive being left in the middle of a vast red-hot desert, equipped [read more]
Too fat to attend trial
Date: June 17th, 2005 | No CommentsAnother trail in the news blows my mind: A Western Australian man accused of sexual acts with a child has been deemed too fat to attend trial in Brisbane, Queensland. The charges stem from an incident 20 plus years ago…I’m assuming he wasn’t quite as fat then. Do not worry, however, justice hasn’t been [read more]

Youths too stoned, too fat to join forces
Date: December 29th, 2005 | 1 commentMore bad news for the western military - like their counterparts, Aus suffers from a shortage of enlistees. One reason? Many of them are obese or drug users and cannot pass entrance exams. From Youths too stoned, too fat to j [read more]
Nicole the shark makes a record ocean journey
Date: November 10th, 2005 | No CommentsA great white shark named after Aussie actress Nicole Kidman has shocked scientists by proving that girls can swim far and fast too - approximately 20,000 kilometers in the past year. They believe she is searching for a mate in Oz, where they are plentiful (just like backpackers…) Nicole the shark makes a [read more]
Ten Reasons for Not Legalizing Prostitution
Date: June 25th, 2005 | 1 commentAs some of you may or may not know, prostitution is legal in much of Australia. An interested article entitled: Ten Reasons for Not Legalizing Prostitution maintains that sex trafficking, enslavement of Asian ‘working girls’ and other unsavory things have resulted from the legalization of the world’s oldest profession, using the state of Victoria [read more]
Just don’t rubbish the Bee Gees
Date: May 10th, 2005 | 1 comment GET upset about Gallipoli litterbugs. Take umbrage at the Anzac Cove roadworks. Just lay off the Bee Gees.
Given politicians from all sides have tried to turn Anzac Day on the battlefield into a self-serving circus, it’s little wonder a proportion of the backpacker crowd feels compelled to play the clown.
But embattled Veterans Affairs Minister [read more]
