I think it's interesting that the workers are striking over the idea that the government might want to take a deeper look into whether or not there are bikies in the workers' union. Do you think the administration is right to take a look? Or is this an attack on unions? I can't say I'm totally sold either way.

Fresh from the Sydney Morning Herald, "Would you vote for a 19-year-old?" I hate to sound like an old man here, but am I crazy for thinking 19 is too young to hold public office in Sydney? I appreciate the younger person's perspective, but I don't know about making decisions that affect the general public before you can even rent a car.
