By this stage, the site had attracted a dedicated following. Counters indicated that approximately 3000 people were visiting the Watergate section each week. About half this number were visiting the Australian politics section. This was discontinued in 2001 and the site remains free to all readers, but with some areas restricted. Sections of the site are available only to Loreto Mandeville Hall students.
Some sections are available only to the author who uses the site as a mobile filing cabinet.
These pages stem from the author's interest in politics of all kinds and draws upon his experience as a teacher of politics over the past two decades. The constraint of full-time employment means that the site is necessarily eclectic and incomplete. Readers are simply promised steady and continual growth. The approaches and interpretations adopted here in relation to the teaching and studying of the course are the author's own.
