Mubarak falls and foreign policy idealism runs amok An old neo-con colleague from Washington called me at the weekend to gloat about the downfall of Mubarak. "What do you think now, Switzer?" he asked in a voice that oozed a certain sort of metropolitan smugness. Well, allow me to point out why I think the transition from dictatorship to a genuine democracy in Egypt remains tricky, potentially messy and could even produce more unintended than intended consequences. Honey, I shrank the health reform agenda Much of Kevin Rudd's bigger-than-Ben-Hur plan to revolutionise the health care system has been abandoned, but the issue isn't going away for Julia Gillard. Love @ first site Like any good adventure, love is as much about the journey as the destination. End of an era: what's next for Egypt? The Egyptian people protested, former president Hosni Mubarak stood down and now the military is charged with finding a path to democracy. But what does the future hold for Egypt and its people? And what does this revolution mean for the rest of the world?

Labor policy: de-Rudded and revamped Last night, when the premiers were still in with the Prime Minister agonising over their health decision I dug out the transcript of Kevin Rudd's last press conference in the prime minister's courtyard. The transcript is worth a read because it contains Kevin Rudd's own assessment of his government's good bits. Some of these items are intact, but beyond a few successes, Mr Rudd's list is a field of corrections and reversals. What have we been doing for the last three years?

Health reform deal signed but not sealed After a marathon eight-hour meeting with state and territory leaders yesterday, Prime Minister Julia Gillard has managed to get in-principle support for her revamped health reform deal. Army private 'pressured to implicate Assange' Supporters of the man charged with stealing 250,000 classified US documents published by WikiLeaks say the White House is trying to break the young soldier.

New agreement a healthy way to run the system The health deal agreed yesterday is almost entirely good and should be used as a template for everything else states do, including education and public transport. By setting up an Independent Hospital Pricing Authority that sends money directly to Local Health Networks on the basis of an activity-based funding model, the state health bureaucracies are being cut out of the picture. They could be shut down, but probably won't be. Egypt live: a Drum Twitter feed from Cairo Regime change has come to Egypt, change led by the manifest will of the Egyptian people. Social media has played its part in driving the Mubarak regime from power. Now, in victory, the online chatter continues. Watch The Drum's live feed from local news sources and observers on the ground. Egypt Live ... catch history in real time. Anger and angst over Abbott's fantasy football How dare the Coalition be so heartless as to obliterate - at the stroke of a pen - $448 million for moderate schools in Indonesia? Except it's not happening. Gillard buoyed by a flood of Liberal grievance The 20 seconds that Tony Abbott spent glaring at Channel Seven's political editor Mark Riley, held a menace that cannot be translated to print. Then imaginary reductions in the foreign aid budget generated a serious spat between Julie Bishop and Mr Abbott. Leading into this week, most of the focus was on how Julia Gillard would perform. So why, when the Prime Minister is under so much pressure, did the Coalition decide to parade its internal disputes and let its foot off her throat? Avatars for a better world. Dream on. As sympathetic as I am to the WikiLeaks cause and attempts to end child abuse, I can't see how changing my profile picture achieves anything.
