Bizarro World

We are officially living in the Bizarro World. I find myself disagreeing strongly with Kevin Rudd… and agreeing with Malcolm Turnbull. And I bet a lot of you are in the same boat!

Edited to add: This is an excellent, excellent editorial on the Henson controversy. Elizabeth Farrelly brings up a lot of the points the Snook and I were making when we debated it at home last night. I fail to see much difference in a kid posing for Bill Henson and one competing in one of those “JonBenet” type beauty pageants. If you’re against the sexualisation of children, fine, but you’re going to be banning a lot more than just an art show.

  1. I know, I’m deeply disturbed. My friend Pauline was the smh heckler this week and said all the things I wanted to say but don’t have the neat turn of phrase she does.

  2. That’s AWESOME, Rachel. Pauline does have a great turn of phrase. 🙂 I don’t suppose she has a blog anywhere? That’s somebody I’d like to read!
