It’s time once again for weekend reflections. I’d be interested in views on how the Rudd government has performed in its first couple of months. My short answer: Very well, all things considered. Anyway, feel free to write at greater length than for a standard comment thread. As always, civilised discussion and no coarse language.

It’s the end of the working year for me, and I’ll be taking a break in January, so posting will be unpredictable (probably light, but maybe I’ll get bored and produce a mammoth post or two). Anyway, this thread will be open for a while, so post away. No real length constraint, but I’d appreciate it everybody would get into the spirit of goodwill towards all, and particularly fellow-members of this little community.

It’s time for another round of weekend reflections. Feel free to post your thoughts at greater length than in a standard comment thread. Before you do so, be sure to read the discussion policy

It’s Monday again. Post on any topic. Civilised discussion and no coarse language please. If in doubt, read the discussion policy.

Comment on any topic of interest, and feel free to make posts a little longer than ordinary blog comments. As always, civilised discussion and no coarse language .

It’s time, once again, for the Monday Message Board. Civilised discussion and no coarse language, please.

A slightly belated edition of weekend reflections. Comment on whatever you like, but I’m particularly keen to open up space for discussion of the choices going forward with a Labor government.

As always, no coarse language and civilised discussion. (If you’re in doubt about this, you probably don’t want to post. Check the discussion policy page for details).

It’s time for the first Monday message board of the Rudd era. Civilised discussion and no coarse language as always, but feel free to share the festive mood.

It’s time, once again for the Monday Message Board. As usual, civilised discussion and absolutely no coarse language, please.
