    I cannot really see the need for high speed trains

    Ever tried to fly from London to Paris, or Tokyo to Osaka?

  • OnPoint: Relationship Status: It's complicated,

    I think the Chinese government has a very poor understanding of public relations.

    Perceptions of China will certainly improve over the next few decades - but the ambassadors are going to be authors, filmmakers, pop-stars, super-models, consumer brands, luxury goods and so on. I think the state has to recognize that the Chinese Communist Party is never going to be wildly popular in the west and try to keep as low a profile as possible.

  • Hard News: Things To Do,

    If you earn enough you can afford an accountant and pay no tax and claim your GST back.

    According to Treasury the 14% of the country who earn in the top tax bracket pay 53% of all the tax. The top 1% alone pay 16% of the total tax take for the nation.

    Someone should tell all those rich people they can just 'hire an accountant' and not pay anything.

  • Hard News: Case Studied,

    Lyndon, this sounds like the Hemmingway Challenge where EH was challenged to write a story using six words.

    Papa's response was:

    For sale. Baby's shoes. Never worn.

    Bleak bastard.

  • Pennsylvania, at last,

    Enough for her and her to supporters to justify keeping on, but I don't think the maths has changed.

    I think her campaign strategy is to stay in the race until some Aryan Nation member blows Obama's head off.

  • Hard News: Fibre Coming Soon! Ish ...,

    i'd say [Williamson] was probably annoyed that he didn't get to make the announcement given it was his portfolio.

    The transition from Clark to Key is looking smoother by the day.

  • Pennsylvania, at last,

    At this state it looks like she'll win by about 8%, stay in the race and leave the nomination in limbo for another couple of months.

  • Hard News: Campbell comes back,

    Well, if you want something more right wing, you've always got The Listener...

    Whenever I want coverage of breast implants, suburban house prices or Princess Diana they're my first port of call.
