Today's column is about a bunch of things, including the absurd Coalition reactions to defeat and the absurd hysteria about the $3m super tax changes. But the most important point I think is that it's possible we've come to exaggerate the difficulty of reform.

They’re going to appoint someone else for show, but make no mistake: Pope Francis chose his true successor, Patricia Lockwood

Many QLD’ers worked hard to get a Truth & Healing process up & running. Imagine how heartbreaking it must be to have spent decades opening hearts & minds, achieving bipartisanship, only to have it ended by Crisafulli’s LNP’s choice to promote ignorance & lies instead.

We're keen on timeless first-person pieces that tell a good story, reflect on personal experience, explore an important social issue or make a persuasive argument. They can be funny, serious, sad, thoughtful, uplifting... Surprise us!

Sitting and standing all day are both bad, which leaves lying down as the best option, which is what I’ve been saying for years.
