This says it all.
Sydney has too many hills, too many narrow streets, too much traffic, too many buses, is too spread out and too hot and humid, to make riding a pushbike to work feasible for more than a handful of people. Bikes need to stay in flat, boring places like Canberra where nothing much happens and a laid-back public service work culture rules.
can somone please educate me on what the point of an " opinion " column is? it seems to me that all it amounts to is being able to print an article in a newspaper about somthing that gets your knickers in a twist without having to rely on those pesky things called " facts, research, truth, justification " that seem to get in the way of a good story.
Piers Akerman, ACA, 60 Minutes et al im looking at you too.
aussie newspapers becomes more like the yank rag the national enquirer daily. i wouldnt at all be surprised tomorrow to see a headline of " Miranda devine has satans Love child. Elvis Furious" . after all, it has just as much credibility.
