Applied Hermeneutics: 1/1/06 - 1/8/06
http://appliedhermeneutics.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html
Protean, elusive, capable of great good and appalling evil, but mostly harmless. Saturday, January 07, 2006. Free Trade Agreements binding on the weaker party. In yesterday’s Oz, Michael Costello offers a withering assessment of the first year of the Australia-US Free Trade Agreement (AUSFTA). Bilateral trade agreements of this kind are by definition not free trade agreements. They are properly described in World Trade Organisation parlance as preferential trade agreements . They are not, as thei...The P...

Protean, elusive, capable of great good and appalling evil, but mostly harmless. Thursday, October 13, 2005. Well, my post on Harry’s blog. Of my Adams/Orwell satire (see also my earlier post. On this) seems to have struck a chord, albeit a dissonant one. It drew the following comment:. Damn right you should apologise to him [Orwell]. Comparing an economic liberal to a ficticious [. Posted by: Cory, Olsen - October 12, 2005 at 17:35. But, hang on! Why should Howard be any different? And why is it that th...

Applied Hermeneutics: Report doctored
http://appliedhermeneutics.blogspot.com/2012/08/report-doctored.html
Protean, elusive, capable of great good and appalling evil, but mostly harmless. Thursday, August 16, 2012. I saw a copy of the. Lying on a table whilst waiting at the local GP. I thought. Silly me, I’d forgot there’d be an Andrew Bolt column. How can she remain? Screamed the headline. No prize for guessing who ‘she’ is. Anyway, the column is typically a polished regurgitation of the stuff he’s pedalled all week on his blog. With the permission or acquiescence of Indonesia. Turning around a vessel outsid...

Applied Hermeneutics: Innuendo ventured, nothing gained
http://appliedhermeneutics.blogspot.com/2012/08/innuendo-ventured.html
Protean, elusive, capable of great good and appalling evil, but mostly harmless. Saturday, August 11, 2012. Innuendo ventured, nothing gained. Andrew Bolt continues to rake over. The ‘connection’ between Prime Minister Julia Gillard and the Bruce Wilson/AWU scandal. Has typically run dead on this scandal, although it. Curiously ran this video. I think she has a very robust sense of her own integrity and she prefers that view to those who would assail it. Gordon is silent on his own view of that integrity.

http://appliedhermeneutics.blogspot.com/2005_12_25_archive.html
Protean, elusive, capable of great good and appalling evil, but mostly harmless. Monday, December 26, 2005. Social Darwinism just keeps on keeping on. In a column in today’s Oz. James McConvill discusses one of the great paradoxes of modern consumer societies such as ours, namely, the endeavour to promote and enhance commercial competition by way of state regulation. Businesses should not be burdened with the direct obligation of enhancing the welfare of Australians . If they can get on with business...

Applied Hermeneutics: Winds and tides of political expediency
http://appliedhermeneutics.blogspot.com/2014/01/winds-and-tides-of-political-expediency.html
Protean, elusive, capable of great good and appalling evil, but mostly harmless. Tuesday, January 28, 2014. Winds and tides of political expediency. For the last word on the Antarctic misadventure of the. Perhaps expedition leader Chris Turney might borrow something like the following from Prime Minister Tony Abbott:. That ought to silence Turney’s critics, because Mr Abbott’s winds-and-tides dodge. Regarding the Navy’s Indonesian detours, my conjecture is that Abbott was terrified that any embarrassing ...

Applied Hermeneutics: Gillard ‘backflip’ is courageous and honourable
http://appliedhermeneutics.blogspot.com/2012/08/gillard-backflip-is-courageous-and.html
Protean, elusive, capable of great good and appalling evil, but mostly harmless. Wednesday, August 15, 2012. Gillard ‘backflip’ is courageous and honourable. In so far as it’s possible to do so. In a race to the bottom. Prime Minister Julia Gillard has this week acquitted herself with courage and honour. When Parliament rose at end of June with the country crying out for a solution to the critical impasse, the PM undertook to abide by whatever recommendations were arrived at by the expert panel. I wonder...

Applied Hermeneutics: 9/11/05 - 9/18/05
http://appliedhermeneutics.blogspot.com/2005_09_11_archive.html
Protean, elusive, capable of great good and appalling evil, but mostly harmless. Friday, September 16, 2005. Two recent news stories warranted more coverage than was given by the media. One was the World Tribunal on Iraq. In Istanbul in late June, which examined issues such as the legality of the Iraq war, war crimes, the role of the UN and the role of the media. The other story was the release on July 19 of the Iraq Body Count. An open and shut case, really. Guilty as charged! Posted by Jacob A. Sta...

Applied Hermeneutics: Regime uncertainty and base partisanship
http://appliedhermeneutics.blogspot.com/2012/08/regime-uncertainty-and-base-partisanship.html
Protean, elusive, capable of great good and appalling evil, but mostly harmless. Sunday, August 12, 2012. Regime uncertainty and base partisanship. The Catallaxy Files site regularly presents a rich seam of idiocy. Most recently I was amused to read resident Perfessor Sinclair Davidson blaming Rudd and Gillard for Howard Government policy. The argument is that spiralling energy costs commenced at mid-2007 specifically with the release of the Shergold report on emissions trading. But the Perfessor notes.

Applied Hermeneutics: Higgs discovery further explained
http://appliedhermeneutics.blogspot.com/2012/07/higgs-discovery-further-explained.html
Protean, elusive, capable of great good and appalling evil, but mostly harmless. Tuesday, July 24, 2012. Higgs discovery further explained. Let’s be clearer on. Of the claims made earlier this month:. Observe in our data clear signs. Of a new particle, at the level of 5 sigma, in the mass region around 126 GeV. said ATLAS experiment spokesperson Fabiola Gianotti. CMS is, of course, the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment at CERN’s LHC. They’ve issued their own press statement, which illuminates further:.
