It's a testament to the dearth of decent conservative writing available in Australia today that Quadrant has run a tedious book review by Catallaxy inmate "lizzie" - the one with the obsessional need to tell everyone what a fabulous lifestyle she leads with the fantastic husband who adores her, after having risen above a poverty stricken childhood in the West from a family with its fair share of mental illness. (As is typical with the commenters at that blog, she is apparently a reformed "lefty" who has found the true path of political righteousness. Climate change is, of course, in her and her allegedly smart husband's view, part of the grand conspiracy of socialist domination of the world.)
As is her wont, the review is roughly 50% about herself.
Strangely, some at Catallaxy think her circuitous, enormously self-involved and self promoting writing style is very readable. It is, in fact, the opposite. She's like the conservative mirror image of Helen Razor, now that I think of it.
