Confessions of a news junkie
Are you sitting down? Good. I have a confession to make. I didn’t watch the debate between Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott last night. *Gasp* Partly because I’m not sure I can cope with that much Tony...

I don’t have kids, and I vote
I don’t have children. I’m not anti-children, I just don’t have any and I’m not particularly interested in having my own. I adore my friends’ kids and I love seeing families in the CBD because the city...

Will ‘shit happens’ put Tony in the shit?
Probably not. People Skills has morphed into Teflon Tony. Even saying on national television that we shouldn’t believe what he says unless someone else has written it down for him didn’t stick. I...

Just when we need it the most

Meanwhile, over breakfast in the News Nips household
Me: Pah! The people did vote. Just because you don’t like the outcome doesn’t mean we should have another election. We had to put up with Howard for ten years. ManFriend: Yeah, suck it up, princesses....
