A lot has happened.
Referendum
I always thought it would lose even with bipartisan support. It appears people were still confused about it. Some thought it a distraction so they could not chew gum and walk at the same time. What few people have written about is no government can consult with Aboriginals on Aboriginal policy as Australia has rejected this.
Ann Twomey is correct in saying we would not be a nation if the no section demand for detail was around then.
New Zealand
The country has a new government which is good from my point of view as the Labour party had two terms of government.
Middle East
Firstly a country cannot fight a war with a terrorist organisation only a country. I Think Brad De Long is on the money. Israel is clearly after revenge not a just solution. A pity they do not read their Hebrew bible and cogitate why sanctuary cities were created. you cannot move half the population to the south of Gaza without a lot of civilians being killed.
Denying those people water, electricity ( how do hospitals work?) and food is simply inhumane and a war crime.
I should add there is no denying Hamas are very evil but if you are going to assert the have beheaded babies then show proof. Afterall we have seen pictures of children being murdered, burnt alive so headless children is simply showing yet again the horrors of terrorisms. There is no need to gild the lily.
Socceroos
A pretty good performance by our team against England. some selections like Duke mystify me as he won't play in the next world cup and we give away possession far too easily. Harry Souttar had another strong game. Why can he not get permanent selection at Leicester?
