Just as long as you weren’t drinking red wine with that seafood…

The Hobart Mercury 28 June 2011

To err is human, and good on Bryan Green for proving just how human he is. Again.

Fortunately our divine premier has forgiven the former chairman of Tasmania’s Road Safety Council for what was indeed a relatively minor transgression in the scheme of things, though I was a little disappointed she didn’t mention that he was only a minuscule bit over the limit.

A great moral question of our time

The Hobart Mercury, 9 June 2011

Sure, it’s probably “both” but I was going for more of a “sound of one hand clapping” vibe if you follow me…

A very Tassie result

The Mercury 8 June 2011


Could AFL in Tasmania possibly be more Tasmanian?

Parochialism, pork barreling, cargo cult accounting, and now, just when the state government can’t scrape up the money to invest in the North Melbourne deal which is apparently going to inject a hundred gazintybajillion dollars into Hobart’s economy (give or take – this is Tascounting we’re talking about after all) up pops TT-Line, which, if you do your absolute best to ignore the fact that it is owned by the, er, government, leaves the Tassie Hawks as a pack of layabout bludgers sucking off the public teat.

Typical northerners.

Too good, though you really have to be a local to appreciate it.

Political football

The Hobart Mercury 7 June 2011


We’re all excitedly awaiting the unveiling of the Hobbyroos’ (okay, we’ll probably be needing some sort of “name the team” competition) mystery sponsor is going to be.

The state government has insisted that no funds will be allocated to the North Melbourne games from the budget, so it will be interesting to see what sort of deal has been done. Football, it’s a funny old game.
