Current Affairs - The opinions of a grumpy old pouf

 
Doug Pollard is a veteran gay journalist, columnist, commentator, and broadcaster specialising in GLBTI issues, based in Melbourne Australia. He often works with Rob Mitchell of the RJM Trust, "We are separate independent and unaffiliated guerilla campaigners and advocates, and the best of mates: nimble, fast-moving, unconventional and above all aiming to drive rapid change", he says.

FRESHLY DOUG THURSDAY MARCH 11



LIVE FROM WASHINGTON

It’s been a few weeks since we heard from Harley Dennett, our correspondent in Washington DC. And a lot’s been happening – for a start, this week, the first same-sex marriages took place. Guess we have to call it Washington AC/DC now. Harley will be reporting on that and more besides.


SO GAY IN ADELAIDE

We’ll catch up with Daniel Witthaus on his tour confronting homophobia around Australia, this week in Adelaide.

ABBOTT ESCAPADES

It’s been even longer since we heard from the Australian Coalition for Equality spokesperson, Corey Irlam, but he’s been busy this week tackling Tony Abbott, who said he felt ‘threatened’ in the presence of homosexuals. Corey assesses the threat from Mr Abbott.

DIGGING DEEPER WITH STEPHEN MURBY

As always between 10 and 11 I spend an hour with someone special. Today I’ll be talking to Stephen Murby, who’s the CEO of Cystic Fibrosis Victoria.

ANDREW POTTS TALKS ABOUT THAT ARTICLE

Andrew Potts from Sydney Star Observer and Southern Star will be here to talk about religious civil unions, and THAT SSO article.

THE REGULARS

Cate The Green Renter has news of how to nominate your eco friendly landlord, and an eco workshop for city apartment dwellers.

AndWill Conyers on Mary Poppins has finally been chosen, but sadly for his fans, Will won’t be playing the role in drag. And four of his pupils have landed leading roles in The Production Company season just announced.
