Political geographies of Australian globalism

By Kim on September 4, 2010

There’s an interesting article in The Australian today by Gabrielle Chan, looking at the rural discontent embodied in the rhetoric of the country Independents: The 2010 episode of “bush leverage” is a result of a backlash by conservatives against a [...]

When he’s not channelling Peter Costello, Tony Abbott channels Noel Pearson

By Kim on August 18, 2010

One of the strange things about watching Tony Abbott on Q&A the other night is that he doesn’t actually appear to be a quick thinker. Any sort of question sees him raise his eyes to heaven in search of inspiration. [...]

The Hawke-Keating wars redux

By Kim on July 15, 2010

Both Blanche D’Alpuget’s new book, Hawke: The Prime Minister, and Channel Ten’s new series “Hawke” have had a dream publicity run, and not just because of all the comparisons between the new PM and her silver-haired predecessor. On Monday and [...]

Doom or salvation for Rudd Labor?

By Mark Bahnisch on June 8, 2010

I continue to be quite surprised at the levels of panic about the Labor party’s current polling predicament, and some of the reactions. The government’s response to the Nielsen poll yesterday was to point out that Tony Abbott stands a [...]

RSPT: Capital to go on strike?

By Mark Bahnisch on May 6, 2010

A couple of snippets from today’s papers: MINING giant Rio Tinto has shelved plans to spend $11 billion expanding its massive iron ore operations in Western Australia because of the wave of uncertainty sparked by the Rudd government’s proposed tax [...]

King Lear becomes a kingmaker, Hockey's treachery, and delay is the new denial

By Mark Bahnisch on November 30, 2009

It’s probably time to take stock again of the Liberal leadership spill shenanigans. John Howard has obviously been having a word in a few journos’ ears. Tony Wright penned this piece for The Age yesterday, portraying the Ghost of Wollstonecraft [...]

On Paul Kelly and political history

By Mark Bahnisch on November 18, 2009

I referred in an earlier post to Paul Kelly’s style of commentary – a mix of oracular pronouncement and portentous ponderings about the primacy of narrative. I actually read his March of Patriots a while back, and planned to review [...]

Keating on Costello (… and everything else)

By Mark Bahnisch on November 2, 2009

Paul Keating hasn’t been reticent lately about letting people know what he thinks … though, perhaps he never was. PJK has been in the news decrying the artistic establishment for neglecting Geoffrey Tozer, pondering cities and dubbing Canberra “a great [...]

Question time: The classical philosophy edition

By Mark Bahnisch on September 18, 2009

Parliament goes into recess next week, after a sitting whose most prominent contribution to political discussion was the unruliness of question time (aside, of course, from the usual shenanigans of opposition disunity, which are now customary). Writing in Crikey yesterday, [...]
