Who is D D O'Malley?

Look, I don't normally comment off topic, but there have been murmurings recently about the existence of my friend and collaborator, D D O'Malley.

Some have suggested this blog is satire while others have alluded to Mr O'Malley being an apparatchik.

Mr O'Malley is a Canberra consultant. That is, he consults on a wide range of policy and political matters. I suspect he would laugh all the way down Brisbane Avenue to be called an apparatchik.

According to Oxford Online, an apparatchik is:

1. (chiefly historical) a member of the administrative system of a communist party
2. (derogatory or humorous) an official in a large political organisation

Well, I'm afraid Mr O'Malley is neither a communist nor an official who can be derogated. He can be rather humorous at times, but it does depend on your style of humour. That is, are you a Dave Hughes or an Adam Hills fan?
