Only the Depth Varies: Newmania: Show Them the Money
http://onlythedepthvaries.blogspot.com/2014/04/newmania-show-them-money.html
Only the Depth Varies. Sunday, April 6, 2014. Newmania: Show Them the Money. Nobody outside the world of politics has ever been told that they have to accept a colossal pay rise. It doesn’t happen. There are always too many competing priorities and too little cash. People tend to land at the end of the queue, regardless of the employee friendly “value statements” that adorn corporate office walls. Over a period of years I took on more and more responsibility. I moved well outside my comfort zone. A metho...

Only the Depth Varies. Monday, March 25, 2013. Today I Got Angry. Mr John Carlile (JP). Today, I received from an old friend an email she had forwarded, originally sent by Mr John Carlile JP, State President (Queensland Division) of the AFC and RAAF Association. The text of the email is below, complete with spelling and punctuation errors, as it was sent to me. It would not have been difficult: there is an entire website. Here's the email - on the other side, I'll check a few facts and see where we are.

Only the Depth Varies. Thursday, February 28, 2013. Enter the Galileo Movement. A group so boorishly proud of their climate conspiracy theories, that they alienated their most high profile adviser, arch-denier Andrew Bolt. They retain the patronage of Alan Jones though, and have tried to style themselves as a legitimate organisation with an interest in promoting scientific debate. That image lasts about as long as it takes to glance through their website. 65279;. Welcome to the debate, @JWSpry, a tweet...

Only the Depth Varies: A Chat with Bill Shorten
http://onlythedepthvaries.blogspot.com/2014/04/a-chat-with-bill-shorten.html
Only the Depth Varies. Monday, April 28, 2014. A Chat with Bill Shorten. G’Day Mr Shorten,. I want to have a little chat with you about your campaign to rebuild the ALP. I can’t be at the meeting at Coorparoo tonight, but if I was there, and if I was given a few minutes, here’s what I’d say. There is, to quote your speech of April 22. A “widespread, genuine passion for rebuilding the Labor Party,” and you’re right. The Labor Party needs to change…but, to what? Do we know what motivated those voters?

Only the Depth Varies: December 2012

Only the Depth Varies. Tuesday, December 11, 2012. The word is that. 2DAYFM has cancelled their staff Christmas Party. This year. Once upon a time, I worked for a boss who cancelled our department’s Christmas Party. We found out later that it was because he had a large performance bonus riding on keeping the department operating under budget. We were so p*ssed off; I wonder how the staff at 2DAYFM are feeling. Let’s separate the fact from the fatuous, and see where we stand. ACMA is about to get serious.

Only the Depth Varies: November 2012
http://onlythedepthvaries.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Only the Depth Varies. Wednesday, November 28, 2012. The Clivening: Clive Harder. Last week, the conservative love affair of the century ended. The ultimately futile attractions of the LNP to Clive's millions and Clive to the benefits of an LNP Government has failed. Clive has dumped the LNP; the LNP has counter-dumped Clive. There's no happy ending in sight. So what is Clive Palmer up to? Clive Palmer carries a lot of conservative political clout - dare I suggest he has even more clout without he LNP?

Only the Depth Varies. Friday, January 25, 2013. Tea Party For One. Bernard Gaynor will go down in history as having one of the shortest, stupidest political careers in Australia’s history, and history is where he should stay. At 11:53am on Tuesday 22nd January, Bernard Gaynor announced via social media that he would be running for a seat in the Senate, as a member of Bob Katter’s Australia Party. Not long after, the deluge of bizarre tweets had begun:. By 7:38pm, the. Wednesday 23rd January was to be th...

Only the Depth Varies. Wednesday, July 17, 2013. What you see depends on where you stand. You know what I mean? Former Prime Minister Julia Gillard is in a very different place now to where she was just a month ago, and I imagine her view is very different from the back benches. More importantly, Ms Gillard’s view of the future has changed too. I don't know what it is that she sees, but I know it's different, because her perspective is different. The Aussie fans were pleased to see the end of Mickey Arth...

Only the Depth Varies: The 44th: Where are the Real Solutions?
http://onlythedepthvaries.blogspot.com/2014/04/the-44th-where-are-real-solutions.html
Only the Depth Varies. Monday, April 21, 2014. The 44th: Where are the Real Solutions? Tony Abbott has always been a curious character in Australian politics. He was effective as a minister in John Howard’s government, and triumphant as Opposition Leader because he has the political instincts of a cornered Rottweiler. As Prime Minister, we are yet to see if he can deal with the actuality of governing. Remember the ubiquitous Liberal pamphlet entitled Real Solutions for all Australians? 1 1 We will build ...

Only the Depth Varies. Monday, March 31, 2014. The 44th: Back to the Future. Scarcely a single new idea has emerged from the government. The first six months of the 44. Parliament has been dominated by recycling old ideas and dismantling existing laws. On March 3, the Guardian reported that the House of Representatives had literally run out of legislationto discuss. Tony and Grace Sullivan. Dare I say that for anyone who cares to dig, the OSB media policy is more instructive about World War Two than the ...
