Honesty, shoplifting, and other assorted moral dilemmas

Dear Mum, Last week Annik walked past a person who may or may not have been lying dead in a park. She didn’t stop to help, but she thought about it, which was nice. She’s a writer so she wrote about it.  It was an interesting moral dilemma. I have a confession mum. I bought [...]

Dear Dad, we don’t need to turn the boats away, we need to send them back for more…

Dear Dad, Imagine if there was a civil war in Australia. Not like the State of Origin dad, a proper civil war. With guns.

Unfortunately, thanks to your inept call centres, I’ve spent more time this morning bouncing around between The Philippines and [...]

Dear Rice, it’s been fun, but it’s over…

Dear Rice, You’re cheaper than pasta, tastier than bread and when you find yourself in the company of a little avocado salsa and some beans, you go even better with sour cream than a baked potato. Until yesterday I thought you were infallible. You were the food equivalent of the friend who is always there [...]

Dear Steven Conroy

Dear Stephen Conroy, Shove your ████ing internet censor up your ████ing ████. Love, (the X-rated kind), Matt

Dear Neighbour

Dearest neighbour, I can appreciate that a home must be maintained and that there are times when it is absolutely necessary to swathe through large slabs of concrete with a power saw. I can only presume your decision to undertake such scheduled home maintenance at 7am this morning was your calculated move in the game [...]
