Facebook: News.com.au reports today that one in five people would knock back a job or change jobs if their employer didn’t provide reasonable access to Facebook.  Hays, the research firm who conducted the research, says that employers want to be trusted to use Facebook at work and that half of Australian workers will use social media sites for personal reasons during the working day.  Read the full story here.

Kate & Wills: A French judge has banned the publication of the topless Kate Middleton photos.  It’s, granted an injunction ordering the magazine to hand over all the shots too.  Closer Magazine has 24 hours to deliver, or else they will be fined $12 000 for each day they delay.  The ruling only applies to Closer Magazine, however, and the royals have commenced criminal action against the photographer who took the long lens shots in the first place.  Read on.

Cory Bernardi: Good grief. Liberal Senator Cory Bernardi spoke in Parliament last night about gay marriage, and all the ills he think it would lead to.  I actually found this hard to believe when The Age told me he’d linked gay marriage to bestiality.  Here is what he actually said.  ”The next step … is having three people that love each other should be able to enter into a permanent union endorsed by society, or four people. There are even some creepy people out there, who say that it’s OK to have consensual sexual relations between humans and animals. Will that be a future step?”  Shut up, Cory.  More here.

    Holy Hell! Cory Bernardi!!! That views like his exist makes a lump of anger form in my throat and my blood boil and steam shoot out of my ears. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! What he said absolutely crosses the line into offensive, hateful vitriol. After apologising to humankind, he should most definitely SHUT UP!
    Read this, Mr Bernardi: http://www.inquisitr.com/324543/chris-kluwe-pens-letter-defending-gay-marriage-insulting-delegate-emmett-c-burns-jr/ – JustB’s – make sure you read Chris Kluwe’s letter via the Deadspin link but be warned, the language is pretty heavy for those offended by naughty words.

    Pip and Rachel, I entirely agree. This is one of the most offensive, foul, bigoted and repugnant things I have ever heard a politician utter. Good grief indeed Pip, there is really nothing else to say but good grief!

    Cory Bernardi is an idiot! Plain & simple. I don’t think he should of been given the choice to resign, he should have been fired!
    I seen those shots of Nigella yesterday on her FB page, and while I applaud her effort to become healthy, it makes me a little sad to see a woman who is so celebrated because of her shape & attitude towards food become something almost unrecognisable. A lot of her FB snaps are of her meals & lately they have all loked so bland & boring, not at all what I associate her with.

    my two older lads asked me last night if it was the same Politician who talked about abortion not being an option after rape…..
    and then proceeded to be shocked that he wasn’t sacked as an MP all together & not just from his Parliamentary postion.
    how have we come to this?
    that we are going backwards not forwards.
    our family was left with mouths agape at the whole scenario…….. :(
