Problems in the Health system can’t wait until 2020, especially the one caused by too many female doctors in general practice. It’s time we gave some serious thought to whom we enrol in Medicine. We need more doctors, especially in rural areas, but we have the proportion of female doctors to male doctors wrong. Continue reading

2020 Summit. Blink and it’s over!
By lunchtime yesterday I had given up watching the broadcast of the 2020 Summit in Canberra. Call me a sucker for punishment, but I couldn’t resist watching some more in the afternoon. Continue reading
2020 Summit. Productivity session lacks productivity!
We sat down to watch the opening of the 2020 Best and Brightest Summit at 8.30 am on Saturday and three and a half hours later we gave up. This is why… Continue reading
Murdoch’s Brisbane Courier-Mail gets it wrong again!
We only have one daily newspaper in Brisbane, Australia. Our “Courier-Mail” has a habit of getting facts wrong and then correcting them in fine print where hardly anybody would find it. I believe that if a paper makes a mistake then it should print its corrections on the front page. Continue reading

Michael Moore’s shameful ambush of Charlton Heston
Charlton Heston died last Saturday. Now that he has gone, my mind goes back to that ghastly attack on him by Michael Moore in 2002 when Heston was already suffering from Alzheimer’s. Continue reading
Why defend Mrs Rudd’s poor dress sense?
Lately I’ve been reminded of that famous saying “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.” But plagiarism goes too far. I say that because I’ve noticed that too frequently when I make an observation and use particular analogies they turn up in a newspaper article a day or two day later. Continue reading
