From today's The Australian:
"It was hardly a marriage made in heaven: the suitor's track record was mixed and the parents might well have hoped for a more attractive match. But that doesn't mean Archer Daniels Midland's $3.4 billion takeover of GrainCorp should have been blocked. And by blocking it, Treasurer Joe Hockey has raised any number of questions, while providing all too few answers."

In The Australian today:

"According to the ABC, Australian taxpayers aren't entitled to know how much it pays its executives. But while shrouding itself in secrecy the national broadcaster did not hesitate to divulge highly classified information about Australia's intelligence programs, worsening the crisis unleashed by the US traitor Edward Snowden. "

In The Australian today:
"It would be possible to tell the tale of Jules and Kev comically, pathetically, even savagely."

In The Australian today:
"The Australian car industry is waiting around to die. With every passing day, analysing its problems becomes less a diagnosis and more a post-mortem. The only question is whether anyone has the courage to sign the death certificate."

In The Australian today:
"Let's start the week with a heretical thought: Australian farmers aren't idiots. If they are concerned about the proposed acquisition of GrainCorp by Archer Daniels Midland, their fears shouldn't be dismissed as hysterical rants."

In The Australian today:

"Like the theologians Voltaire skewered for attributing the great Lisbon earthquake of 1755 to licentiousness and vice, the green lobby has seized on the NSW bushfires as a sign that the carbon tax must be retained."
