Staying put: hundreds of residents pack into an evacuation centre in Innisfail

Too late to flee as Yasi closes in
Premier Anna Bligh has warned north Queensland residents that it is too late to evacuate ahead of "catastrophic" Cyclone Yasi.

Yasi felt in Cairns, Townsville
The first signs of Cyclone Yasi have started to be felt in Townsville and Cairns, where residents are bunkering down ahead of the category five system's expected impact later tonight.

We watch and we wait and we hope
What an eerie feeling it is to watch, on ABC News24, interviews with North Queenslanders about the impending destruction of their homes. It shouldn't take a second disaster - hell, it shouldn't even take a single disaster - to remind us of what's important. But whatever happens let's hope that when the sun comes up tomorrow, we can avoid some of the foolishness of recent weeks.

Bad economics, bad policy
The politics of the levy is at best ill-conceived. Why would you seek to fight on your opponent's well-established, turf?

The price of freedom is eternal vigilance
This week, two refugees will appear in court to challenge decisions that were made about them, but that they are not able to see. The decision-maker is the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation. It seems only fair that if the Government is accusing you of something, you should be able to know what it is and be given a chance to defend yourself. If ASIO is permitted to make decisions without any meaningful right of review, we enter dangerous territory for our democracy.

Mubarak's moment has come
President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt has finally succumbed to public pressure and announced that he will not run for re-election in September, but his days are now numbered. This leaves not only the Egyptians, but also the US and its allies, which are caught out once again by events in the Middle East, with the difficult task of managing Egypt's transition.

The failed education revolution
In addition to being flawed in concept the ALP's education revolution is now an electoral liability.

Do Not Buy an iPad

By matt buchanan

Do Not Buy an iPad

Do Not Buy an iPadTime's up. If you haven't bought an iPad by now, don't. You've crossed the sucker line, and you'll feel like a grade-a chump when the next iPad comes out.

The basic rule of gadget-buying happiness is this: Don't buy anything after it's crossed the halfway point in its life-cycle. That's the sucker line.

When it comes to iPods and iPhones, the lifecycle is easy to grok: Apple produces new models like clockwork. Every September, new iPods emerge, tweaked this way or that way. And every June, there's a new iPhone. Apple hasn't produced multiple generations of iPads for us to pinpoint precisely when the next version will emerge, but since it uses mobile guts like the iPhone—and those mobile guts advance technologically at the same speed—it's reasonable to assume the iPad will see yearly updates just like the iPhone. Also, the steadily rising volume of tidbits about the next iPad indicate it's coming soon, lining up with a yearly update cycle.

If you're going to buy an iPad. or any gadget with a yearly release cycle, the best time to buy them for the maximum gadget newness-happiness quotient is within six months of their release. After the six-month mark, only throw down your card in a time of need—you dropped your iPhone in a toilet or your iPad was used as an awkward frisbee by your three-year-old cousin. And if we're at the point we are now, a mere two months or so from a brand new model, do everything in your power to punt the purchase. Use a crappy flip phone. Borrow a friend's Galaxy Tab. Just wait.

The truth about energy subsidies
Is the Australian Government subsidising the fossil fuel industry? So said the Climate Institute, when they heard Julia Gillard was scrapping solar schemes to pay the flood bill. This claim shouldn't be casually dismissed. Because it's one thing for fossil fuels to be cheaper and more efficient when all energy technologies are competing on a level playing field. But it's quite another if government policy is artificially boosting the competitiveness of fossil fuels.

That ain't a levy, it's just a fag tax
On February 1 every year, the Australian smoking community heaves a rasping, sclerotic sigh of resignation at yet another excise increase. In no other field of taxation is the criticism of "regressiveness" - so common in every other tax debate - so routinely suspended. Smokers are so unpopular that they can be inconvenienced with impunity and proxied into all sorts of unrelated political disputes.

Biting back on talk radio
When talkback radio hosts are prominent, entitled, but unrepresentative, what makes politicians queue up to be berated by them?

A vision worth voting for
Australian politicians have lost the will to embark on ambitious and meaningful reforms.

Shakespearean drama over critic's critique
I've had 40 years of crits now but never one quite as hell bent on killing me as the crit that a young Crikey critic launched at me almost before the final curtain calls for Don Parties On at the opening night had finished. He just couldn't wait. The anger was astounding. It kicked off a long blog exchange between supporters of mine and opponents who objected to me and my place in Australian theatre, as indeed did the Crikey critic who urged "elites" to sweep me off our stages.
