The Dev Is Back!

Readers of The Age would have noticed that striking columnist Catherine Deveny made a return to the paper yesterday. No doubt her supporters are pumping their fists in the air and her haters are cursing her name – and God saw that it was good.

Is she in vintage form?

Our kids only watch the ABC. Well, our kids only watch documentaries. Well, we don’t have a TV. Well, our kids only play musical instruments. Well, our kids only play instruments made from organic wood. Well, our kids only play traditional indigenous music on bits of recycled bark. Who cares? A hundred bucks says they’ll all change their names from Tarquin to Steve and end up working in the public service

Yup, that sounds like The Dev.

I spoke to her yesterday afternoon and she wanted me to thank Defamer Australia readers for their support. So there you go! Apparently y’all were discussed during the meeting with The Powers That Be over at The Age, so that’s nice news, isn’t it? THE POWER IS IN YOUR COMMENTING HANDS!

    Welcome back Catherine but you got the Malvern part wrong – it’s Canterbury!

    Waking up to Catherine’s Wednesday column again is like sipping iced coffee on a 45 degree day. It gets my world into gear. Another beauty today – thank God(!) for those who can see outside the box!

    Welcome back!
