baskervilles:
This was going to be a longer post but I don’t have the time or inclination, so basically:
I’m Indo-Pakistani (I became an Australian citizen in 1994). I’m happy to be an Australian, but I don’t feel that Australia Day (and what usually gets talked about on Australia Day) is a celebration that involves me. I’d say that it doesn’t involve the 25% of Australians...
Tumblr needs improvements

We need to be notified when someone unfollows us.
We need to be notified when someone answers a question we asked.

Book review: Barrie Cassidy’s The Party Thieves... →
For three or four years now i’ve really enjoyed Shrike’s take on federal politics. What i especially like is that they’ve got a consistent and independent argument about politics in this time which is pretty significant given it’s been pretty unprecedented in many respects, a fact that has contributed to undermining the established commentaries and analysis, especially in...

Just the fact that people need to go out for Clinic Defense illustrates for me how...
