dash that confounded black scourge

..... oh, & Man Haron Monis, to boot

Brandis has nothing but arrogance for the people, and the parliament.

.......... rhyme without reason. Here was an Attorney General who, despite his onerous responsibilities at the fulcrum of the war on terrorism, wanted it known he did not have a worry in the world. Certainly there was no sense of him being vexed by his own department's bungled handling of correspondence with the Martin Place siege gunman, Man Haron Monis.

Nor, as would be revealed the next day, that parliament had been misled over it, necessitating an embarrassing correction of the record.

The incident fits into a pattern of political snafus and has fuelled speculation that the nation's first law officer could become the most senior political casualty of a mooted pre-election reshuffle towards the end of this year.

Although, he might be pipped in that dubious distinction by the increasingly plausible demise of an even bigger scalp, that of Treasurer Joe Hockey.

'An anthology of Australian poetry'

helps to keep the Attorney-General George Brandis amused, during a typically dull Senate estimates hearing on Thursday.

Brandis brushes up on bush poetry in estimates

maybe some Poetic justice is required for his attitude

"Brandis has failed miserably. On his watch we have seen a marked increase in the power of the executive over the individual and the courts. "

again; you obviously care little & can't believe in peoples rights. He also has rights as an Australian citizen, to air his thoughts, even if we all don't like him. you obviously don't believe in peoples abilities to decide for themselves, what they think.

that Islamist is more likely to turn Australians off the radical islamists ideas.

You might need to re-read what I posted.I mock the ABC for defending people's right to be bigoted now because they sure as hell didn't support George Brandis. Where were the ABC on Andrew Bolt's freedom of speech and the peoples ability to decide for themselves?

And the reality is the terrorist sympathiser that was gifted a question on prime time television by the ABC has had no restriction on his speech. He is perfectly entitled to write on twitter, Facebook etc... As far as I am aware none of the racist, sexist or hateful speech he has written has seen him locked up or had a court ordered removal. Whereas Andrew Bolt has had a court ordered removal. Did you defend his right to speak?

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
