Australia’s tea lady in Washington, Kevin Rudd, has failed again.

Victorian taxpayers seem to be unable to catch a break.

Jennifer Hewitt writes a reasonable piece on the gas crisis, but her conclusion is rubbish.

Peter Dutton’s excellent East Coast gas reservation policy is being undermined by policies that few voters asked for and that the mainstream will never support.
