Welcome one and all to 2002! That's correct, isn't it? We started the new year with John Howard all up in our faces in the news coverage, so it must be, like, a decade ago, or something, right? Ah, of course not - the Queen just wanted to remind us of our illustrious past with old green-and-gold tracksuit man. How nice of her!

Political Asylum kicks off the new year THIS SUNDAY with a cracking new show. Join us for laughs, drinks, and even air conditioning, at The Brunswick Green, 313 Sydney Road Brunswick.

This is a FREE EVENT (yay!) and a very popular one. Last year the room reached capacity before the show even got underway, so head in nice and early to grab your spot. The jokes aren't as funny if you're stuck in a queue in the foyer.
