It has been suggested that many women are abandoning paid work for the home.
If this is an accurate appraisal, and not just wishful thinking on the part of some, then the Ladies Against Feminism (LAF) are surely this trend’s most radical faction.

More on Empire
Well if Graham and I were not having an argument about American imperialism, then we are having one now. I say America is an imperial power and he says it is not. Let us go through the arguments in some detail.
To start with I take a position that […] Continue Reading…

The balance of hatred
Mark Latham’s performance on Monday was what I would call a “reverse smear” – it did to his opponents what he is claiming they are doing to him, and did it by playing the victim card. It is a legitimate tactic, but will it work?
In this election campaign, […] Continue Reading…

Jason Stevens – not your average rugby league player.
JASON STEVENS should be playing for the NSW Blues against the Queensland Maroons at the Olympic Stadium tonight – he won’t be but tomorrow he has perhaps an even more important assignment at the 2004 Hillsong Conference at the Sydney SuperDome.

Housing Summit a bit flat
It appears that my warnings about the Housing Summit were more dire than they needed to have been. The only recommendation of any substance to come out of it was a call for a national Housing Ministry. This is really no bad thing.

An empire in the mind
Gary says that he and I are having an argument about the word “empire”. I’m not sure that either of us has directly used the word in debate against the other, but I take it as being encapsulated in the word “imperialism”.

A meanness of spirit we can well do without.
THERE is a meanness of spirit in government – and particularly local level government – that is unhealthy and contrary to the Australian tradition.
I saw it again over the weekend in a “Sunday Mail” story on the move by councils to ban, or severely restrict, “memorials” placed at fatal […] Continue Reading…

Get Ye Home and Up the Duff: The Howard Government and Women
It has often been claimed that those who preceded John Howard and Associates in power were banished because they were distant from most Australians.
Although the alleged aloofness of Paul Keating’s Labor is sometimes argued to have been chiefly economic, their commitment to supporting the advancement of groups such as […] Continue Reading…

www.johnhowardlies.com – follow-up
Maybe they like the attention, or perhaps they are plain obstinate, or maybe even just being boof-headed, but the “team” behind www.johnhowardlies.com have struck back at my post with this letter to Crikey!.

On Empire – something to read and ponder over
Graham and I are having something of a dispute over the word Empire. I have pointed out that I am not alone in using the term to describe current American policy. Scholars of all political hues have employed the expression. Among the most distinguished is Rashid […] Continue Reading…
