New Home for The Right Aussie
Because of continuing problems I've had with Blogger, coupled with a desire to try out some new stuff, I have moved The Right Aussie to a new blog hosting site. I will leave this site up and running although no new posts will be made here - for time being, anyway. Please update your bookmarks! Thanks.

Would someone please test the watercoolers at AFL House
Congratulations AFL Tribunal. With your moronic, inexcusable and baseless Trengove decision, you have pissed off hardened AFL supporters regardless of their team, and I'd say you have done more to disenchant new members and interstate supporters than you possibly realise.
UPDATE
Support Jack.

Bolt's away after a shaky start
I really hope Andrew Bolt's new venture on Channel Ten takes off.
Last Sunday's premiere was a good, although slightly nervy effort.
It is very hard for someone used to radio (as Andrew is) to slide in to pieces to camera. Alan Jones tried it (also on Channel Ten), and his show lasted for about 12 weeks before it was canned. I watched The Bolt Report on Sunday, and it really did sound to me like a radio interview to camera.
Two pieces of friendly advice:
1: The show should have been preceded by a warning that viewers will need their sunglasses. I could't believe the brightness of that red set!
2: More seriously (no pun intended), let the person answer your question without interrupting them five times. Andrew's constant interrupting of Tony Abbott was embarrassing. He then proceded to do the same to Mark Latham on the panel segment later on.
I'm sure Andrew's many followers on his blog have pointed out to him these, and other suggestions.
As I said, I hope the show does well. Ratings were very good.

Jon Stanhope resigns, but we may not be rid of him just yet
Jon Stanhope (or Stan Nohope as he is popularly known) has resigned as Chief Idiot Minister of the ACT.
ACT Opposition Leader, Zed Seselja said today that Stanhope was the "most capable" performer in ACT Labor. Which doesn't say much for the rest of them.
Stanhope's replacement is Katy Gallagher, for whom I have a nickname that I can't repeat here. What regime she will lead beggars the imagination. Needless to say, I'm glad I don't live in Canberra
Apparently Stanhope has designs on Federal politics. Good grief. The last thing Federal Labor needs is another hard left, doctrinaire socialist imbecile in their ranks.
No, Jon should pack up the family and move to a far-flung corner of Australia and out of the spotlight for good. And he should dig up all those public objets d'art erected during his tenure, and take them with him.
