Joe Hockey went to lunch with John Howard, didn’t reply to any of the tweets he received, and is being spoken of by some Liberal MPs as the [...]

This week I have been up on the Gold Coast doing a story about Schoolies, that great Australian rite of passage where thousands of teenagers descend on Surfers Paradise in search of a booze-fuelled nirvana. Had I wanted to experience some really chaotic party action, however, I should have stayed in Canberra. The Liberal Party has offered much better entertainment and been far worse behaved. If I...

THE Liberals are tearing themselves apart again because John Howard failed to reform the party when he had the chance. IN two weeks it will be the 60th anniversary of the Liberals' finest hour, marking the ascension to power of a reborn Robert Menzies at the head of a party built to his specifications. It was a long hour, indeed, inaugurating a political dominance that lasted a full 16 years under...

...some words from Tim Colebatch : Defenders of the status quo fought against working people having the right to vote: it was only in 1950 that all Victorians got the right to vote for the Legislative Council.
