Getting a normal person’s tick of approval is one thing. But getting a pat on the head from a skeptical person is quite another. So I was delighted when cult busters and atheist campaigners Rachael Dunlop and Richard Saunders came round to quiz me on my research into groups like Scientology, Hillsong and Freedom First. Listen to the podcast here… it’s episode 65.
You’d hardly expect a Soy latte to send you to the hospital with a bung thyroid gland. But it’s already happened to 10 Aussies. Bonsoy, a Japanese Soy Milk, was banned in December because the seaweed extract squirted in it punches its Iodine levels through the roof. But still some coffee shops are selling the stuff. And we, with the help of some A Current Affair style tactics, went to catch them out… watch it here on NINEMSN.
It’s only when a TV show gets all controversial that you really wish you’d been watching it! So it goes with Skins the SBS program that is meant to be inspiring our youth to have drug fuelled sex parties. Chris and I yakked about that on Sydney’s top rating radio station 2GB on Monday and also about the nastiness heaped on Aussie actress Mia Wasikowska the Canberra chick who plays the lead in Alice in Wonderland.

Want to change the world? Well forget about protests, petitions and fundraisers. Instead hire a professional lobbyist, start a facebook group, and take an add out in the local newspaper. That’s what some community campaigners did down in Bondi and they got a massive development stopped. Watch how on my video at STREETCORNER.com.au
So Lara left the keys to her Aston Martin in her Range Rover – something, let’s face it, that could happen to any of us. Unfortunately some local Bondi kids used them to go for a joy ride… And Ruby lost her dog… these are the big issues if you are a gossip columnist. But should it matter to us? And does it matter if it does? I spoke to Luke Bona over at 2GB to get to the bottom of it. Listen here.
Yakked to Luke Bona filling in for Chris Smith and talked entertainment news. Had a massive scoop with my news that Carlotta is retiring after 44 years on the cabaret circuit. Yes the inspiration behind Priscilla Queen of the Desert is bowing out. Also talked about the new John Lennon biopic Nowwhere Boy which is great and Jodee Rich’s outrageous claim that Kerry Packer was evil. Click here to listen.
A couple of weeks ago I started chatting to ABC Alice Springs Mornings presenter Alice Brennan. I’m meant to do a weekly wrap up of politics, but usually end up running down tangents to make her laugh. So if you’re in The Alice on a Wednesday morning at 9.40am tune into 783 AM…
Well nothing. Expect they were both mentioned in my weekly entertainment report on 2GB. But don’t worry about that. Worry what exactly was going on with Tiger Woods and his woozer when she smashed in the back of his SUV with a golf club. And why won’t he talk to the cops? Is it because the scratches on his face could lead to them charging his wife with domestic violence? Well find out the answer to that and so much more by clicking here and listening…
Went back to Uni of the weekend to do the annual Alumni vs Students comedy debate. We were debating the proposition ‘The GFC is a plot by Alumni to keep university students in their place’. On my team, all decked out in academic dress, was Rob Carlton of Chandon Pictures fame and Adam Spencer the alchemist behind many an ABC radio and TV show. The Usyd students however were the stand outs, funny, smart and gracious… as tradition says the Alumni must win… a great day.
What kind of scumbag rorts a disabled parking scheme? What kind of bastard connives to get themselves a visitors parking permit even though they don’t qualify for it? Well a Sydney pub owner could be one example, if charges laid against him are proven. Police have charged this rich bloke with being in possession of a parking permit which may be reasonably suspected of being stolen or click HERE to read on.
