It's been an age, but that's because I now have a couple of blogs on the go AND a novel! That's right folks, you heard me correctly: I have been working on the same piece of prose for well over twenty thousand words now. And still counting!
But I interrupt this news bulletin for some more political ranting - I have written yet another letter:
Opposition Minister for Immigration Scott Morrison may have refused to endorse or criticise the move to free children in our detention centres, but his call to shift all asylum seekers to Nauru speaks volumes. I assume he is familiar enough with semantics to know that all does, in fact, include the 738 minors now living behind razor wire? Asylum seeker policy in this country certainly warrants some criticism – but that’s been the case for well over a decade. The Gillard Government’s commendable decision to free innocent children illustrates which party’s moving in the better direction. The Howard years of inhumane detention are over, and the Opposition could do much good if they realise this, and amend their strategy accordingly.
So, I am very busy with the writing game at the moment and between teaching, leftist political commentary, my plans to move to Namibia and the future pulitzer-prize winning novel, life is pretty full. One day I may even write a novel in Italian!!!
I shall be back soon - but just so you know, it's all happening with the writing game!
