Every Monday morning I appear on Andrew Bartlett's 4ZzZ breakfast radio show to discuss some of the current public and political issues of the week. This week we discussed where things stand at the end of the year for the Gillard and Bligh governments, internet policy in Australia (the NBN) and the US (internet neutrality), online media in Australia to get a new entrant with The Conversation, The Ashes, 2010's most searched words as well as a list of beautiful words. I also gave some summer plugs a book (the Law of Politics by Professor Graeme Orr), a website (betalist), an exhibition (GOMA "21st Century: Art in the First Decade") and a podcast (Nova's Summer Lovin').
