Left in Limbo has broken out in vlogs. We hope we can recover, over time.
To my few but dedicated readers I wish to convey that I will return to this blog in due course.

We all know Parliament Question Time is a bit of a joke, right? You can get that perception from merely watching people live-Tweeting it. Lots of teeth-gnashing, hand-wringing and beating of heads against walls. There’s little doubt it needs reform, but some people seem to have arguably unrealistic notions about the form that reform might take. Continue reading

The following is an article posted at the AIMN Network back in 2013. I’m bringing it home where it belongs. It contains a couple of now out-of-date references to Abbott but you can apply them to whomever you desire.
