    1. He looked embarrassed to be with people who were better than him. Megan Washington said that he talked through one of her songs.

      I've blogged on Australia Day before, I think it's important as a marker of Aboriginal dispossession.

    With the Prime Minister's wind and tide excuse for the Navy acting illegally, it's no wonder the LNP strategists do not want the Prime Minister and the Immigration Minster commenting on operational matters. Due to the Government's policy, the Navy's performance brings to mind “The Cruise of the USS Codfish” as described by the comedian Bob Newhart.

    1. Yes - interesting that a breach of international law is described by TA as akin to a cricketer dropping a catch. Shows no comprehension of the rule of law or respect for it and our neighbours.... sigh...

      Is he really playing the idiot in this instance or appealing to his conservative base??

  9. Congratulations Andrew. You're a fantastic writer and your insights has a degree of nuance I've long admired. I hope it works out well with The Guardian and that leads to even greater things in the future.
