Hard News: A Work of Advocacy, in reply to Danielle,
You do this sort of thing on purpose, don’t you?
Yes.

Last month’s Kings Arms concert was pretty much the thing of legends
Speaking of which, there’s Shayne Carter’s back-pages special Last Train to Brockville at the same venue on May 14.
I had a chat to his manager last night and hopefully we’ll have some ticket giveaways and a guest blog from Shayne about the project next month. Choice.

I fixed it -- you need just the URL of the clip.

He ate my falafel, too.
Did you make it yourself?
Yes, from the balls-out don't-even-boil-the-chickpeas Madhur Jaffrey recipe. Delicious, but it's really hard to get the balls to hold together.

Okay, I've had a phone conversation that has convinced me that the leaked affidavit on the internet (don't know about the Dom Post's) was a copy of Jamie Lockett's -- but Lockett didn't leak it, a third party (one you might have heard of but not in connection with this case) did.
- So the Dom Post's copy didn't come from the police.
- The Lockett copy didn't come from Lockett
- They may or may not be from the same source.Fascinating. All such tips gratefully accepted.

You got “Media 7” for services to the government? Does Top Shelf know? The conspiracy must run very deep indeed.
You'll have to ask John Drinnan. He said much the same thing in a particularly spiteful column before the show launched.

Now that I'm thinking of it -- not that I don't have work to do -- I had to ask one fairly regular commenter to leave and not come back after he wouldn't resile from claiming that I received Media7 as payback for my faithful service to the then-government over the terror raids.
It does irk me when it's hard to express a genuine and reasonably well-informed view without being automatically aligned with the fascist police state ...

Sorry, I’m not clear how that response was “unnecessary” in the circumstance
In a tit-for-tat sense. It's fine, don't worry.

Yes, I knew she had other reasons. Apologies for the overstatement. She did seem especially grumpy about it when she said in her farewell:
I'd actually forgotten that. But like I said, we're good.
