Continuing an irregular series commenting on how the election looks to commercial tv viewers: commercial free to air is the biggest single source of information for voters. There mustn’t be any Oakes/Latho self-referential “news” tonight, because wild weather and record [...]

Well, Kevin Rudd has had his corflutes printed (and no doubt everyone else has too), you can’t walk around a marginal seat in Queensland without tripping over Christopher Pyne or Julie Bishop, and Julia Gillard is giving the kiddies more [...]
