Another step towards authoritarian rule
Another step towards authoritarian rule
In doing so, it’s trashed any lingering hope we might have had that asylum seekers have human rights in the eyes of Australian law, and left some disturbing implications for the future.

The best moments of the Queensland election 2015
Let’s not beat around the bush. The standout moment of this campaign, in terms of sheer, unadulterated weirdness, is Ray Stevens’s dance. The LNP candidate was confronted by a journalist who had been pursuing him over a controversial sky rail project and, well, things got very weird.

This election let’s focus on what is important: health, the economy and climate change
In uncertain times, the natural desire is for a “strong leader”. Populist messages promising strength and clear direction are deeply appealing. Campbell Newman and his colleagues are counting on Queenslanders buying this message, if the bombardment of messages on “strength” and promises to deliver just what we want is anything to go by. No doubt it is the best advertising our money can buy.
