In the dying hours of the COP15 Conference in Copenhagen last year, I called up the USSC’s Robert Hill for the third of our series of chats about climate change and the process of negotiating a means to address it. At the time, no one knew quite what the end result would look like, but the outcome was beginning to take shape, and Mr Hill was kind enough to give us a look into the end game.

The American Television Decade
4 January 2010
I've been thinking a lot, as the decade ends, about things that have changed since 2000. In particular, I've been thinking a lot about changes in American culture. Sure, there are the really big things one cannot ignore, but there's a cultural change I just can't seem to get past: the changes in American TV over the last decade.

California Love: The Sydney Morning Herald should recall 2003
14 December 2009
There was something almost American about the front page of last Friday's Sydney Morning Herald. Front and centre, above the fold, in black and white: a free press advocating the overthrow of the government. Well, sort of; it was actually the only slightly less-dramatic beginning of a campaign by the paper to change the New South Wales state constitution to allow the electorate to recall the government of the day.
