Bernard Slattery

Veteran regional journalist who detests the leftwing slant in most mainstream political coverage. Has a similar abhorrence for the dumbed-down cult of celebrity that infests much of modern media. And not too keen on the postmodernism in education that is producing a generation of illiterates. To remove the scowl Slatts goes for humourists in the vein of PJ O'Rourke and Carl Hiaasen, Aussie Rules football (er, Collingwood), horse racing, British movies, Australian military campaigns and Australian crime writers, Peter Temple, Peter Corris and Gary Disher. Deadwood on Foxtel has become a don't miss. Has a beautiful wife and two adored young adult children. Out of home passions are bike riding and fishing.

Rachel Croucher

A bored Libertarian twentysomething raising debate about anything from politics and social issues to the hilarious banality of the celebrity world, as well as encouraging all sides to engage in the art of tasteless joke making. Everyone is welcome, but Communists and Scientologists will be politely redirected to Narnia. Or Cuba. Yes, Cuba will do just fine thanks
