I've been very remiss with this blog for the past few weeks, instead concentrating on my new venture JCpoetryblog.blogspot.com, where I am gathering some of the poems I've encountered over the years.  However, there's so much happening in the world at the moment, I need to keep this platform active as well.

Watching our hapless Prime Minister flailing around trying to give the impression of being a leader is a tragedy in itself, and yet our focus has to be on the real tragedy affecting the lives of other citizens of Australia, and the countless animals who need our protection.  This is not something we will simply endure for a few weeks and then get on with our lives.  Serious decisions need to be made about preparing Australia for a hotter, drier future and still we have a bunch of overpaid, barely literate MPs denying there's a problem.

And at the same time, there's another failed PM touring the world on the strength of his $300 000 pa pension, spouting the nonsense about a 'climate cult'.  Open your eyes, Tony, the times are a-changin'.
