Bizarro World

We are officially living in the Bizarro World. I find myself disagreeing strongly with Kevin Rudd… and agreeing with Malcolm Turnbull. And I bet a lot of you are in the same boat!

Edited to add: This is an excellent, excellent editorial on the Henson controversy. Elizabeth Farrelly brings up a lot of the points the Snook and I were making when we debated it at home last night. I fail to see much difference in a kid posing for Bill Henson and one competing in one of those “JonBenet” type beauty pageants. If you’re against the sexualisation of children, fine, but you’re going to be banning a lot more than just an art show.

    I know, I’m deeply disturbed. My friend Pauline was the smh heckler this week and said all the things I wanted to say but don’t have the neat turn of phrase she does.

  2. That’s AWESOME, Rachel. Pauline does have a great turn of phrase. 🙂 I don’t suppose she has a blog anywhere? That’s somebody I’d like to read!


Important Note

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
