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

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 !)
