For any readers outside South Australia, there’s been a recent crisis in this state’s hospital industry, with doctors and other specialists arguing over wage increases. Related story here. The issue has come to a head and many emergency doctors and staff have not just gone on strike but resigned their positions altogether. Take that! I’d [...]
While I don’t claim to know everything concerning the polical machinations of the Bill Henson case, I will say this. Honi soit qui mal y pense. By which I mean, if you can look at a picture of an impassively posed, naked 13-year old girl and see something salacious, shame on you.
