State of crisis: a politician in a disaster zone ItÂ's so easy to bugger up a disaster, as a politician. Keep away entirely, and youÂ're condemned for insensitivity (consider Mark Latham, hounded in early 2005 for failing to respond publicly as Opposition Leader to the devastation of a tsunami that didnÂ't even hit Australia geographically). Turn up, and you risk the alternate criticism that youÂ're in the way, or that – as seems significantly to be the case for Julia Gillard this week – youÂ've worn the wrong clothes. Emote too copiously, and youÂ're Brendan Nelson: Tragedy tourist. Disaster and community spirit In cities like Brisbane we are often disconnected from those around us but this week neighbours who had previously been nameless 'wavers' suddenly had names and handshakes to offer. People offered to help each other with force, companionship or beds. Queensland Premier Anna Bligh has spoken continuously over the past 48 hours about the need to band together. She's right of course but for some reason it often takes a disaster to bring us together. Lies, damn lies, and statistics Global warming is inescapably real despite the snow in England or the cold wave in India or that icicle in a Mongolian cave. European death spiral – end games In 11 May 1931, the failure of a European bank – AustriaÂ's Credit-Anstalt – was a pivotal event in the ensuing global financial crisis and the Great Depression. The failure set off a chain reaction and crisis in the European banking system. Some 80 years later, European sovereigns may be about to set off a similar sequence of events with unknown consequences. Religious intolerance sweeping Pakistan The brutal murder of a senior politician in Pakistan shows that the battle against militant Islamists must be fought with ideas, not just guns.
