The Labor government are facing a significant uphill battle to remain in contention come federal election time in November. Almost certain to be relevant is Kevin Rudd's super-profits tax taken from the mining companies. In an attempt to show the Australian public that our economy would remain financially unhurt and be in surplus in the near future the Labor government decided to tax mining companies $9 billion a year.

Here's a really good article by Andrew Bolt regarding celebrity hypocrisy. It is a good reminder not to take what people do on face-value and to always check your own intentions.
The Wrong Kind of Hypocrites
Andrew Bolt, Herald Sun
"Hypocrisy is a virtue, which is why I’m so down on amateurs like “Sir” Bob Geldof, who give it a bad name.

“Rise, and rise again. Until lambs become lions.”
Ridley Scott's cinematic version of the exploits of Robin Hood has arrived and it is the most deeply unsatisfying movie this year. While past Robin Hood movies are based on the book by Howard Pyle this movie throws the iconic book and myth out the window completely and forges its own way. This is fine, in principle, but the onus is then on the production crew to provide the viewer with a satisfying alternative. Unfortunately this movie does not deliver.

Jason Akermanis has potentially opened the floodgates with his statement “If a player wants to out himself, then I say good luck. But I believe the world of AFL footy is not ready for it. To come out is unnecessary for a lot of reasons....” in his article in the Herald Sun this week. He is, of course, writing in relation to homosexual footballers revealing their sexual orientation.
At first instance Akermanis’ comments seem counter-intuitive. It has only been recently that the AFL has brought out advertisements in support of International Day Against Homophobia with high-ranking players voicing their encouragement for the cause. As usual Aker has a sense of occasion and sensationalism and taken the opportunity to give his own opinion.

Here is a really insightful piece by Bill Muehlenberg on the 50yr anniversary of the contraception pill. It is important to be reminded of the dangers of using the pill even after fifty years.
Article by Bill Muehlenberg
"It was 50 years ago this month that the contraceptive pill was launched. It sparked a worldwide revolution which we are still feeling the effects of. It was a major factor in the sexual revolution of the 1960s, and it was meant to be a leading feature of so-called sexual liberation.
One can ask however just who has been liberated. Men were certainly the big winners in the sexual revolution, and in the use of the Pill. They could literally love ‘em and leave ‘em, thinking sex was now fully loosened from any concerns about procreation.
