It’s all about the NBN this week, and interestingly it’s the Shadow Minister who got more coverage than the Minister, although that’s not a one week story, Turnbull’s profile has been generally higher since August. Nick Xenophon the other main mover, he and Steve Fielding obviously determined to be key players in the seven months remaining during which their vote matters.

If I suggested certain parts of the news media are not unhappy to have an excuse to revisit every detail of the Ivan Milat case yet again, that would just be cynical of me, wouldn’t it?
