When I had Matt Marks on the show recently talking about politicians using Web2.0 to engage their audience, I wish I’d seen this example. Democrats Senator Andrew Bartlett (who was my guest on the show back in February 2005) has a video on his Facebook profile where recent G’Day World guest Julian Burnside QC [...]
Back in March when I had Dr Phil Burgess, Telstra’s Group Managing Director, Public Policy and Communication, on the show, he tried to portray Telstra as Darryl Kerrigan, Michael Caton’s character from the 1997 film “The Castle“. The suggestion was that Telstra was just the poor common man getting beaten up by the big, bad [...]
My guest today is one of Australia’s highest profile barristers and human rights advocates - Julian Burnside QC. He is also the current President of Liberty Victoria, also known as the Victorian Council for Civil Liberties Inc, an independent non-government organisation committed to the defence and extension of human rights and civil liberties.
I have been [...]
My guest today, to talk Australian politics and new media, is Matt Marks. We discuss KEVIN07, what’s wrong with the Liberal Party, and why political parties in this country need to engage with new media.
Matt has recently written a chapter for the Crikey Guide to the 2007 Federal Election on the campaigning process and [...]
I mentioned on Twitter this morning that I thought the news today that the Victorian Government is introducing legislation to ban teenagers from getting genital piercings was outrageous and it started a lengthy and amusing conversation. Only some of the responses can be seen here, as not everyone has their Twitter feed on “public” setting. [...]
Richard, Ian and Garth joined me last night to discuss porn filters, Australian values, strip clubs and other rubbish. If you think you can sense heavy editing in this show… you are right. I won’t say why.
Become part of the G’Day World conversation.
I’ve created a couple of groups inside Second Life. You can [...]
I don’t think much of Jeff McMullen’s style of moderating, but it’s great to see more debate-style shows on Aussie TV. Last night’s episode of “Difference of Opinion” was frustrating but well worth the watch. Last night he had an “expert panel” including Julian Burnside QC to debate the need for our anti-terrorism laws and [...]
Jack Marx wrote a popular blog called THE DAILY TRUTH for Fairfax, a large, old and very, very tired Australian media organization. In 2006 he won a very prestigious Australian media award (a Walkley) for one of his posts. However the paper sacked him a couple of days ago (on his birthday no less) for [...]
Mike Van Niekerk does it again. Barely a month since James Farmer left Fairyfax as the guy running their blogs, blogger Jack Marx gets sacked for writing what everyone is thinking about Kevin Rudd. Well I guess we know the lay of the land now people. News Corp is voting Libs and FairyFax are [...]

He has currently been held in prison by Australian authorities for 24 days without being charged and now that it is [...]
