1. West Wing episode (cliched?) re run this last week in the USA re legal academic (in that case arrest of Hispanic Justice Roberto Mendoza (recall teacher in Stand and Deliver and see http://westwing.wikia.com/wiki/Roberto_Mendoza to be appointed to US Supreme Court) and alleged white bread copper prejudice, so perhaps Big Media and White House press corp ought to break the script and actually do real journalism/reportage not stereotypes either way;
2. Coffee coloured (Australian) abc news reader these last 2 weekends is impressive. Good going dude. Got a picture but too lazy to post it just now. Dule Hill from West Wing show will have to do - above. First for national broadcaster (but not first as per SBS).
3.  Rudd punishing News Corp with (boring?) essay in Fairfax press? Flog them with a feather?
4.  Complaint by SAM editor to ACCC re Telstra idea to charge cash for processing cash payments - how can this not be a deceptive omission as to contractual terms given custom time immemorial. Surely can only introduce to new customers with due notice.
5.  As explained in a crikey string re Turnbull critic Wilson Tuckey – the guy has no credibility on resource economics as per his time as Forestry Minister claiming we are better off than in 1788, despite 1992 RAC report showing the exact opposite: 20% forest land cover down to 10%, much less than 1/10 of that is intact original style forest.
6.  As explained on a crikey string also re Monica Oliphant of International Solar Energy Society that over 50 countries that collectively are 1/3 global emissions are just like Australia around an average <1% or <2% in which case Australia is a crucial indicator of what can be done (or not) given all our advantages.
7.  Interesting to part hear topic of discussion “selling out” on Friday’s National Interest Radio National.

Cool glass of milk Deborah Rice in chair. Tanner is humdrum talent feeding mogodon into the economic commentary.

Press roundup, including Turnbull to suffer Bennelong campaign. Reference to Rudd tale of caution [really just admission stimulus was a sugar hit with no guarantee of next meal] 

Grab from CR from Access Ec spending must be reined in, joke really given spent all the surplus – derr. Humour/melodrama out take re deep brown Wilson Tuckey on CPRS/ETS and sledging of Liberal leader Turnbull. Irvine SMH and Farr News Corp both Sydney based.

Hockey with buzzcut. Lip service by Tanner to negotiate with Turnbull, happy to talk, assess departure from voter sentiment. Tanner plays sober declarations to share market card [as per ACF etc complaint to ACCC re deceptive misleading behaviour].

Various chatter … Moves onto protectionism, argues free trade case building muscle of previous decades [but ignores structural foreign exchange surplus by China destroying manufacturing around the world, and making political donations to maintain that corruption of global markets???] 

2^nd out take cartoon out take, Nicholson coalition stewing in their juice.
