Art: I rest my case
(Preview)

Outsider Art

A few years ago I was lucky enough to discover 'Outsider Art' at Tasmania's MONA gallery in Hobart whilst we were travelling around the state. The Wall in the Wilderness at Derwent Bridge was enough to bring tears to my eyes but here was something very different but no less powerful. I'm no 'student...

I hear this morning that the Victorian Taxpayer has baled the Diamonds Netball to the tune of the 15 million dollars that they rejected from Gina Rinehart. They say it is good for tourism. Really? Probably not so good for flood victims, and the existing massive state debt. Some may ask where is the diam...

I hear we are spending $430,000,000 dollars on this in Australia this year. That is a bloody lot of money.
