Maybe it’s just me, but it seems that Ross Gittins’ articles are getting better and better. From his denunciation of television to his explanation of why there’s more the the WTO and the ‘rich get richer, poor get poorer’ story than it would seem, he’s always arguing in a lucid fashion that the story behind whatever he’s talking about is more complex than people would have you believe. His latest article is an analysis of the Victorian election of last weekend. It’s an interesting analysis – one I don’t entirely agree with, but interesting nonetheless. It’s nice to be able to read at least one columnist in the opinion section of the Herald that’s not just a moudling of events to support the columnist’s political and moral concerns. (cf Miranda Devine, whose recent articles are exemplified in Tough measures are our rights, or Paddy McGuinness, responsible for Rent-a-mob tarnishes victims of the Bali bombs, amongst other corroded invective.)
