Do you miss John Wayne or Clint Eastwood riding into town and saving the day? Remember when the good guys won and the baddies lost and you would cheer at the end of the movie and consider it pocket money well spent?
Do you remember when going to a movie was fun and you didn't even realise that you had learned something while eating jaffas and hanging out with your mates? Remember that?

What do I say? My son trapped in a room in a quarantine hotel in New Zealand and saying " Hopefully I will be free tomorrow" Because he came to see me in Australia and wants to go home and he was hoping to be free tomorrow and allowed to go home.

When I made the decision to keep the Christmas season free of politics, little did I know how difficult that would be.

My love of and for cricket started at an early age.
During WW2 the interstate cricket competition, The Sheffield Shield, was suspended. It resumed in the 1946/47 series and traditionally, the match between Victoria and NSW started on Boxing Day. I was 11 at the time and went to the game every day it was played.

As Christmas comes. it is that time of year when Bing Crosby serenades us as we wander down the supermarket aisles throughout the world. His voice has almost become synonymous with the festive season.
Harry Lillis "Bing" Crosby Jr. May 3, 1903 – October 14, 1977 was an American singer and actor. Crosby's trademark warm bass-baritone voice made him one of the best-selling recording artists of all time, having sold over one billion analog records and tapes, as well as digital compact discs and downloads around the world.

Only minutes before midnight on Christmas Eve, 1953, the engine driver of the Wellington to Auckland express train will notch back to walking pace in a remote area of New Zealand's North Island's 'volcanic plateau. Most passengers will be sleeping.
If the pandemic policy response had taken the form of mere advice, we would not be in the midst of this social, economic, cultural, political disaster. What caused the wreckage was the application of political force that was baked into the pandemic response this time in a way that has no precedent in human history.
