Welcome to this week’s edition of I Call Bullshit. Today we’re looking at ghosts (cue Ghostbuster music - you know you want to). This week, photographer Yvette Worboys has got more publicity than money could buy with her pictures of Sydney’s Gladesville Psychiatric Hospital, a decrepit old lunatic asylum.

Photograph taken at the former Gladesville Psychiatric Hospital by Yvette Worboys, from her exhibition 'Ghosts' that is part of the Head On Photo Festival at Cafe Giulia, Chippendale

The pictures are haunting; the effect eerily similar to the one achieved by my free Hipstamatic app. Sepia tones and shadows, dappled light and nostalgic colours.

From: They must pay for one’s bitter disappointments

Michael S says:

"A teacher at Geelong Grammar had criticised her for using words that were too long, which had left her confused and had made her doubt her ability to write essays. She became ''quite distressed'' when her English marks began to fall." I can sympathise. My scholastic mentors conveyed to me a causal relationship… [read more]

From: Welfare for breeders is a bonus for everyone

Change Up! says:

I have no problem paying my taxes. As a single, childless person on a very decent income, I can afford it and not have my life severely altered. Plus I understand that my taxes paying for things like schools, childcare and infrastructure is ultimately a good thing. A better community is better for me… [read more]
