Provoking comment on the web

Why Rudd is a border protection sceptic

If the buck does stop with Kevin Rudd, it hasn't found him yet, writes Scott Morrison in The Punch.
"Labor chose to roll back the border protection regime they inherited. No-one forced them to do it. They now need to own up to the consequences.‬‪"

Look south

Jeff Kennett, in the National Times, says NSW should look south of the border for the way forward.
"Fifteen years of failure by successive governments has imposed a terrible and measurable cost on all Australians, but particularly the long suffering community of NSW."

The madness of crowds

Will Self, in the New Statesman, on the return of Britain's lynch mob.
"Britain's woeful attitude towards children who commit crimes - just like its determination to send teenagers to kill Afghan peasants - can be seen as a successful strategy of scapegoating."

The Big Vote

The New York Times will be live blogging the health care House debate and vote.
"A lot of Republicans today have argued that this health-care bill smacks of European socialism, or a European "nanny-state" government."
