And the cops are getting over-excited. Shooting dead an 18 year old this morning in Melbourne, for shouting insults about Tony Abbott? Two armed cops couldn't subdue a kid with a knife? But this is Victoria, where cops are gun-happy anyway, and no questions will be asked. They say one went to shake his hand, and he drew a knife. When was the last time you saw a cop shaking the hand of a suspect?

And we can't look to Bill Shorten to divert attention back to what really matters, I'm afraid. His strings are being pulled by the unions, and they care only about how much power they can wield.

I've donated to the Greens; now I think it might be time to join them.
