I was wondering whether you knew what was happening with Oz Conservative and Mark Richardson. I noticed while I was overseas that the blog was redirecting to a Google login page.

I have received a number of inquiries about Oz Conservative, the Australian blog which is no longer online. According to a friend of Mr. Richardson’s, he is taking a sabbatical from blogging due to some pressing matters and will return. As I understand it, he is not in poor health.

Mr. Richardson is missed. There are many who appreciated and are grateful still for his work. I wish him well.
