It's hard to believe the attention paid to Raygun's Paris absurdities, but there may be deeper lessons in that writhing and posing

If we imagine a metric called the Pinocchio Scale, which measures the number of lies told by a politician as a percentage of his or her overall public statements, our current prime minister (for want of a better description), Airbus Albo, has moved well into uncharted territory.

You can imagine my surprise when I recently became aware, courtesy of my cousin Paul, of the letter below, addressed to Mr J.A, Farquar, Commissioner of the South Australian Railways.

If, as Plibersek claims, Raygun 'gave her all', she was clearly not up to the standard required to represent this nation at the elite level, regardless of whether or not she was the best we had. And by the way, Tanya, Steven Bradbury won gold because he made it to the final in a gruelling, highly competitive sport.  Please don’t lump him in with a kangaroo-hopper
