The latest ABC promotion for the Mardis Gras event in Sydney this weekend is indeed a thing of beauty. And that’s a promotion on the ABC ME site, not the adult site. ME is for young adults, though the ABC would have to admit that most of the kids in this promotional video are still […]
And so the cancellations continue. As reported in The Australian this morning, celebrated physicist and celebrity atheist, Professor Lawrence Krauss is now on the list of those whose careers are about to go into free fall over sexual harassment allegations. His inbox emails – or those of his agent – are now of the “thanks, […]
We need to call the new normal for what it is – abnormal. The late, lamented political cartoonist, Bill Leak, said shortly before his death that it was becoming harder to produce cutting edge material because what was once considered satirical and outrageous when he first began his craft is now the new normal. And […]
An article I wrote on the challenges for public evangelism on The Gospel Coalition Australia website here. You can read it here. It’s in response to Tom Habib’s earlier article here.

It was […]

Rather than having a bunch of late teens/early twenties running the show a decade and a half later, with Bob Parr (Mr Incredible) and his wife Helen (Elastigirl) biding their time waiting for […]
It didn’t take long, but at least my predictions about where the Yes campaign would continue to go after the success of the same sex marriage campaign are more accurate than any of the Test match cricket predictions I made all summer.
