Watching: The Hollowmen (Episode 3)

Happy to say that The Hollowmen has continued to improve since the first episode - last nights one about the minutiae of dealing with Indonesia and the language of diplomacy was great.

If you haven't seen this show yet and have any interest in the way this country is run (and you should) it's a must. It still cuts close enough to the bone to make the viewing experience somewhat of a laugh then cringe then sigh that it's probably true situation. The humour is fast paced and very dry and highly highly pointed.

If this show had gone to air during the Howard government, Liberal ministers left, right and centre would have been going ballistic about ABC anti-government bias, so it's nice to see the Rudd response of - no response at all. (Because they know it's just a tv show).
