The inevitable Big Brother post

Here's an extract from my latest piece for New Matilda. If you can't wait to read more, go and check it out over there later today. Or, alternatively, you might decide you never want to heare about BB06 again.

'Turkeyslapgate was an opportunity to discuss, publicly, the definitions of sexual assault. It provided the kind of publicity that an advertising campaign - to stop, gee, I don't know, sexual assault - would spend millions of dollars on. . . .

Howard certainly isn't calling out for those institutions to be closed down.'
