Now, as a highly paid journalist, I am required to churn out two 1000-word masterpieces each and every week. The Sunday article is the hardest one to do – I am published on Thursdays, so I spend the whole day basking in the brilliance of my arguments before having a Pimms and lemonade and going to bed.
That leaves me with only Friday – today- to research the article, and Saturday to write it. My reserach so far today has involved listening to Steve Price, John Laws and Alan Jones – crucial members of our society who are always right and happen to know almost as much as I do about everything. Also, I had coffee this morning in a trendy Eastern Suburbs cafe which keeps me up to date with the concerns of the average upper-class housewife – quite frankly, these are the only concerns that our beloved government should take any notice of.
So far, I haven’t really come up with any great topics for my Sunday article. A few have crossed my mind though:
- Abbos;
- Dole bludgers;
- Aboriginal dole bludgers;
- Single mothers;
- Aboriginal single mothers;
- Single mothers on the dole; and
- Aboriginal single mothers on the dole.
These seven issues are cutting across everything else affecting our modern lifestyles – especially since one of my girlfriends from the cafe had to drive near Redfern yesterday – she went home and had a LONG shower after that one.
Anyway, let me know what you think.

Dear Miranda,
this comment is not meant to be a pointer for your Sunday article, but is acomment on your article on Austalian of the year.
In the first instance is it peculiar to us, or somehting of the same is to found elsewhere?
Mick Dodson is a far better choice than Noel Pearson and Warren Mundine. Those two are too overtly political and have, in my view, their own political agenda and ‘factions’.
Mick Dodson, on the other hand, has genuine Australian attitude: an amount of scepticism and a certain disconcerting manner towards those who take him for a fool.
Let’snot denigrate him. He is a good representative of most of us.
