		<description><![CDATA[	Not totally unexpected news in the paper this morning:
	
But last year Mr Howard said ID cards were back on the agenda because the world was now a very different place.
	Concern about individual rights had to be balanced against protecting people from terrorism, he said.
	&#8220;You have to put that against the right all of us have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	I&#8217;ve been to quite a few big outdoor musical events in the last couple of years, but none of them even came close to The Great Escape on Saturday. Newington Armory was a great venue (if a little cool in the evening, but there&#8217;s nothing like freezing your ass off to give you a good [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	This expression was one of my parents&#8217; favourite admonitions of my teenage years. Not that it ever had any positive effect then or now, as evidenced by the fact I have spent the whole weekend hanging out and having a good time, and posting flickr photos of course, rather than dealing with my looming and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	Down at Jed&#8217;s just then, over my coffee, I was browsing the pages of the Wentworth Courier, hardly a last redoubt of bleeding heart liberalism in the Eastern Suburbs. Nestled amongst the adverts for Ferraris, million dollar shoe box apartments in Ben Buckler and hideous plastic surgey disasters of the social pages, was an article [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	This post is long overdue, and would most certainly have been far too stale for publication had it not been for a certain anniversary here in Australia.
	This year at SXSW I skipped the Jason Kottke / Heather Champion yawn-fest, opting instead for a few hours of fun at Red&#8217;s Indoor Range, a place that seemed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	So much for travelling light. Power adaptors, powerboards and more cables and devices than I care to mention jangling along behind me, this morning in just a few hours I slip into the ether.
	I was happy with the compromise of taking only 3 blank DVDs, in slim cases, which allowed me to fit in an [...]]]></description>

	According to this story in today&#8217;s smh government backbencher (and let&#8217;s not forget, former minister) Danna Vale has publicly commented
	&#8220;I have read&#8230;comments by a certain imam from the Lakemba Mosque [who] actually said that Australia is going [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	Almost 10 years ago now John Howard was elected. One of his mantras at the time was that &#8220;political correctness had gone too far&#8221;. And so he began the process of rolling back the process of enlightenment that had been happening in Austrlia since the early seventies. And with very few exceptions, none really, he [...]]]></description>

	And then a whole lot of people did this.
	But then someone did this.
	Which made someone else do this.
	And then things got really interesting because someone did this and this.
	Which of course, made this happen.
	But then, it all got better again because there was one person who was genuinely smart, and she did this.
