If the "bias" of the ABC doesn't appeal to you then cop this for a line-up for "truth"... (Main Forum)

A long time ago now I was at a country airport in Queensland and picked up some reading material in the waitng room. It had Australian flags on it I remember. It was from the Lunar Right, full of warnings about communists and other undesirables.

Both Barry Hickey's sad little piece and this JPII stuff remind me of it. As the policeman in Casablanca says, "Round up the usual suspects!" Or as Mandy Rice davies didn't actually say but should have, "They would say that wouldn't they!" These people are in a time warp. The 1950s have gone for good chaps. It is all like a discussion on who makes the best horse shoes and where one might buy a topline kerosene lamp only it is neither as practical nor as sensible.

This is all NCC stuff that has seeped up from Victoria. It is talking to the small coterie of the converted who still think Mr Santamaria was a saint. It is like an Enid Blyton convention where all the nerds discuss the existential differences between the Famous Five and the Secret Seven while the rest of the world couldn't care less.

Oh dear Jemima! What a waste of airspace!
