Hypocrisy the new policy in West's dance with Gaddafi It's remarkable to watch how quickly Western leaders and commentators, many of whom have celebrated the increasing ties between them and Gaddafi, are suddenly calling for his departure. In the last years the West embraced Gaddafi and his children because he was the kind of dictator we could deal with. But not anymore. There is a hypocrisy at the heart of Western political and media elites; language is abused and selectively applied to the "good" and "evil". Politicians asleep at the deal? At LaborÂ's Caucus meeting on Tuesday MPs and Senators gave their support to a Greens bill, before claiming they hadn't understood the implications of the bill a day later. Egypt shows the power of PR As much a battle of wills and ideals, the situation in Egypt was a battle of messages and it is very likely that advisors from big international PR companies stood somewhere behind the goon-squads.

The girl who kicked the Coalition's nest Coalition supporters have never been angrier or more frustrated, and now their anger is intensified because Julia Gillard so shamelessly broke an election promise on a carbon tax and there is nothing the voters can immediately do about it. The Prime Minister will find it hard to emulate John Howard's GST experience, but maybe she and others have decided that if Labor is to lose, then they should do so honourably, rather than lose with nothing to show for it. Al Qaeda: trying to get on the bandwagon These are frustrating times for Al Qaeda. The jasmine revolution is more about gaining political and cultural freedoms and the right to a job, than it is about wanting to live in a fundamentalist Islamic society. It has left Al Qaeda playing catch up. Al Qaeda will hope that the Egyptian military is slow to hand over political power because too long a change process could lead to popular disenchantment with the military, and scope for the kind of violent change that would make Al Qaeda more relevant.
