Dancing on the Grave of Radio Sport

An Industry of Incompetent Whores
By Heinlein’s rule, the Australian and New Zealand arts and media are riddled with incompetent whores. Which I, for one, wouldn’t argue with. And, if the incompetent whores in the New Zealand media get their way, they’ll all be government sugar-babies. In Australia, the incompetent whore
What Y2K and COVID-19 Have in Common
Justin Knight For anyone too young to remember Y2K, it was a very expensive non-event invented by IT charlatans to scare the world into paying them a significant amount of money to fix precisely nothing. The argument went that when the year 1999 ticked over to 2000, all the
