But strewth, aren't they having fun in Oz trying to organise something
other than a barbie ...

Fair dinkum, wanting someone in the world to take notice of them, but
who would want to chose a leader from what's on offer ....

Then again, without the Queen, they'll need a new flag, so what's it
goin'ta be - an un-ending vista of 'The Red' inland with, in each
corner, a sheep, some shackles, a 'tube' and a 'dunnie' ... ?

Maybe BF wasn't far off the mark with his alter-persona of the 'Cultural
Attache' - after all, Aussies could always ask for advice from 
Sir John B-P (many Queenslanders already do !)
