Jack Smit, called upon last night to launch Margo Kingston’s TypePad blog, foresees a modest level of success:
Margo’s move to Webdiary was in itself already something to take note of, and her separation and independence of Fairfax is something which I imagine will still be discussed in journalism courses in 50 years time, if we still run them in Australia.
Let’s fast forward to that time, 50 years from now.
A child asks: “Dad, what is a newspaper?” Dad obligingly answers, and says: “Well, you remember the trees that were chopped up for paper long ago as you learnt at school? When that still happened, many of the beautiful Australian trees were chopped up to make real cheap paper, and every day all the news that now comes in on your school palm top and on mummy’s laptop, was printed on fat bundles of that cheap paper. That’s what newspapers were until the government stopped doing that and gave people big fines for wasting paper.”
The child then asks: “When did that paper wasting stop?” And Dad goes: “Well, there was this woman journalist, and she started the first newspaper without using paper in Australia. And soon every person who had a computer got the summary of the articles on their PC every morning in their newsreader program, while the sales of printed newspapers kept going down and down until all the big fat companies around the world went broke. Remember the little photo you can click on to read all the news on your school palmtop? That’s the picture of the woman who started all this. She was called Margo Kingston.”
UPDATE. Margo receives some helpful promotion from Stephen Bennetts in The Australian:
In Australia, engaging with civil society may involve membership of a local parent-teacher association, the Australian Conservation Foundation, a refugee rights group or participating in Margo Kingston’s web diary, Your Democracy.
Unhelpfully, Margo abandoned Your Democracy not long after writing this:
I have employed my brother Hamish for a year to get the website going. I hope that at the end of that year, our site will be such that people will want to “subscribe” to allow it to continue and grow, although the site will remain open to all.
I want the site to develop through a transparent process with maximum reader involvement. So if you’re on our mailing list be prepared to be asked lots of questions, and there’ll be a section on the site for reader’s ideas, complaints and queries. I take full responsibility for the site’s content, and will make the final decision, after advice from the yourdemocracy board, when there’s a major disagreement.
Your Democracy—which Margo hoped would become an Australian version of MoveOn.org—now staggers along in the hands of a few unreadable dead-enders. Hamish hasn’t posted anything since July; Margo gave up in May.

- My!- how well informed those kids will be when they have to click on Margo’s picture to get their “news”!
Now this paragraph is a beauty-
When Margo five years ago received the offer from the Sydney Morning Herald to write whenever and whatever she wanted at Webdiary, I imagine someone on the Fairfax board may well have thought to end any controversy by giving Margo her own playpen or sandpit in a quiet corner of the Herald’s website. After all, Margo is not at all conforming to the image of the professional female journalist. I’ve seen Margo more often in bare feet with a sloppy t-shirt than in a slick 2-piece black outfit that says: I am female, a corporate professional to be reckoned with, and if my dress code is not convincing go take a look at my heels and the pointy end of my shoes. Margo is mainly, um, Margo – and I say that in admiration and respect.
Tim- the Italian suits have got to go. If you want to be taken seriously you must be barefoot and pregnant, erh, barefoot and in a sloppy t-shirt.
No wonder you haven’t cracked the glass ceiling.
I’m off to perfect my disheveled look…
Jelly doughnuts!

- And then the child asks: “How do I get the picture of the woman off my school palmtop?”
And Dad goes: “Then, all the unemployed paper company people went on a revenge PC and palmtop stomping spree, which we now remember as the Great Silicon Massacre of ‘23.”
And then the child asks: “No, seriously Dad, that woman’s picture on my school palmtop is completely creeping me out. Do you have a piece of duct tape or White-Out?”
And then Dad says: “The giant duct tape corporations went broke soon after an ingenious woman invented a little thing called ‘Virtual Glue.’ Her name: Margo Kingston.”

- Add a misplaced apostrope in the first few lines, followed by this completely mad paragraph:
Just think of it in this way: if we would throw journalists in prison if in their reports and writings they fail to measure and mirror statements by politicians and government ministers against the various International Conventions such as the Geneva Convention, the Refugee Convention, the International Declaration of Human Rights or the Convention for the Rights of the Child – then we would have a lot of Australian journalists in jail right now.
I think this means that if we threw journalists in jail we would have a lot of journalists in jail. Why doesn’t someone tell him that, actually, we don’t throw journalists in jail?Anyway, a fine start to a great on-line newspaper. I wonder if Martgo knows her launcher, Carmen Lawrence, was found by a royal commission to have lied while Premier?

That’s what newspapers were until the government stopped doing that and gave people big fines for wasting paper.
Does he really think the government publishes the paper? Or makes the paper?
Why am I asking? He thinks Magoo Kingston’s doing something new; he must be an idiot.

- The reason you see Margo “often in bare feet with a sloppy t-shirt” is because her overly-socialist values forbid her from being any wealthier than the poorest person… that and she wasted her money to bring out her last childrens-fiction, “Not Happy, John”.
So in the future the Government has banned paper newspapers in favour of technology? I’m sure margo would let that slide, because in no way is that a threat to free speech.
Whats this about Carmen Lawrence, Susan?

There’s the Blessed Saint Rachel of Caterpiller.

And now, it’s Holy Margo, Savior of the Trees.
Seriously, I am interested in how that piece got on Kingston’s site… it obviously is from iowahawk or Scrappleface.

- Won’t you still have to print out hard copy of Margo’s newspaper to line the bottom of the bird cage? And it’s going to get mighty expensive, swatting flies with a computer.
Who is this Jack Smit character? I checked out the link for his article and found some truly ghastly writing. I embarked, at random, on a trip through one paragraph, drove along endlessly through a flat, monochrome landscape (littered with the bones of what must, at one time, have been ideas of some kind), and when I came to “The Last Chance Comma”, turned the wrong way and wound up in a desolate, dead-end dependent clause. I’m still shaking from the experience.
And I love this bit: “Our project started on the back of an idea by Perth refugee advocate Ross Copeland”. That was one whiskey-sodden idea, brother.
- #8 For the story, google “Carmen Lawrence Penny Easton” for the gist of the story of Lawrence’s lying. It’s certainly not very savoury, though apparently not too unsavory for either Margo or the ALP – it is, appalling how they have managed to airbrush it out of popular memory, seeing it didn’t happen that long ago.Posted by Susan Norton on 2005 09 23 at 01:31 PM • permalink
- That is so incredibly lame. Words fail me.Posted by James Waterton on 2005 09 23 at 02:27 PM • permalink
- I said before that words fail me, but they don’t. Just look at the has-beens applauding such ridiculous sentiments. Washed up pollies and ne’er-do-wells to a (wo)man. Carmen Lawrence and Christabel Chamarette; the former speaks for her silly self and the latter being a name I didn’t expect to hear again outside of intelligent conversation, and I’ve yet to be proven incorrect in my assumption.
Margo is surrounding herself with a coterie of losers. Why does she think she’ll succeed, given her ominous company?

- I had the same reaction – I assumed Tim had written a bit of piss poor parody. But no, the clown actually said that!
Then I thought, no that must have been on that fake site they put up so I checked that.
So, Margo actually invented blogging and online news eh? Shit I didn’t know that.
BTW all these demented ex-pollies etc. that were there to support Margo – how much bugs bunny will they actually be prepared to put up to see the dream survive?

- Look, I can’t be long here. Richard McEnroe has been stalking me with a shovel in his hand. All the neocons who could have been assigned as my mentor and I get the Marquis de Sade. What does he want now?
Anyway, I have to make this short and sweet.
The problem I have with people like Jack Smit and orang is that I have the distinct feeling that I’m reading or debating with poly sci majors in some liberal arts college that are simply regurgitating what their enlightened professors had proselyzed in their classes. They have no understanding of the complexities of the issues that many of us have obtained while watching world events for the past 30 to 40 years or so. Not a clue.
So you’ll never see me debate the likes of orang or similar trolls. Or to give the least bit of respect to the Jack Smits of the world.
Oh shit, I hear a Humvee (McEnroe has a souped up gas guzzling one—does he know what those things are doing to our environment?). I’m out of here. If his lordship asks where I am, tell him I’m fine tuning the Japanese weather machine.

- “Well, you remember the trees that were chopped up for paper long ago as you learnt at school?
“Learnt”? Dad, how old are you, exactly?
When that still happened, many of the beautiful Australian trees were chopped up to make real cheap paper…
What? You mean that stinkin’ eucalyptus tree? Which trees, Dad?
That’s what newspapers were until the government stopped doing that and gave people big fines for wasting paper.
First of all, Dad, it’s not the “government” which was chopping up all those “beautiful Australian trees”. Second, government efforts to regulate resource use are more likely to create larger problems elsewhere, by the inelucable laws of economics and of unintended consequences. Remember Kyoto?
Well, there was this woman journalist, and she started the first newspaper without using paper in Australia.
Like Al Gore “invented” the internet? Rrrrrright, Dad.
And soon every person who had a computer got the summary of the articles on their PC every morning in their newsreader program…
Actually, I read blogs, Dad. You should try it.
while the sales of printed newspapers kept going down and down until all the big fat companies around the world went broke.
“Fat bundles of paper”, “big fat companies”… Why do you keep saying “fat”, Dad? Is your diet not going well?
Remember the little photo you can click on to read all the news on your school palmtop?
Remember _1984_?
That’s the picture of the woman who started all this. She was called Margo Kingston.
Dad, you need to disengage from the matrix, like yesterday.

1. Unloved, wacky and outside the mainstream – check
2. Can’t hold down a job or function fully in society – check
3. Writes ranting tome blaming an individual or group of individuals for the world’s wrongs – check
4. Attracts a group of equally disaffected miscreants into a personality cult.
5. Establishes ‘legitimacy’ in a public forum by claiming to be a force for a wider political process – check
6. Excessive use of photographs which are turned by adherents into quasi-religious icons – check
7. Has dreams of overthrowing established institutions and establishing oneself as the only single legitimate authority – check
Scary, isn’t it?

#13 RebeccaH,
“In all her pictures, she looks like she should be wearing panties on her head.”
Unbelievable! You’re absolutely right. I always thought that look was caused by her lack of a man (or a woman or A. Lowenstein who apparently is neither), but it’s really that she lacks a pair of (extra-large) panties on her head.
This inevitably reminds me of Raising Arizona (but then everything does):
“Son, you got panties on your haid.”
Nicolas Cage: “Drive fast.”
- Dad, remember when you said I should be reading more, especially newspapers for world events?
Yes son.

Where: Film and Television Institute, 92 Adelaide Street, Fremantle (whereis)

Time:5:00pm

Chief Catalyst: Margo Kingston, owner, http://www.webdiaryweirdos.com.auWTF is a “chief catalyst”?!?!
So that’s Webdiary’s planned revenue source. I can see it now: “Got any chemical reactions you want sped up at your social function? Why, just add a dash of Margo Kingston and watch those test tubes bubble over like you’ve never seen before!”

Perhaps that’s a typo and they meant Margo’s the chief catalytic converter, in that her job is to try and clean up the stream of crap that is being funnelled into the Webdiary system by its contributors.

Hang on, I’m sure that’s against Webdiary ethics…
“6. I will let you know when archives have been changed except when changes do not alter their substance, for example corrections to spelling or grammar. I will amend archived Webdiary entries to include corrections of fact and advise you accordingly.”
Scandalous! Margo breaches her own ethics! It’s like discovering there’s no easter bunny…or WMD… or something…
