Of course, we have other more pressing problems like whether to legalise same-sex marriage (let them get married! a) why should they be any happier than the rest of us? b) it'll be a boon to divorce lawyers, c) they'll breed themselves out of existence in one generation).
And why argue about Australia Day or pull down the statues of Captain Cook when some obese guy with a funny haircut in North Korea may well topple them all before 26 January 2018? And while we wait for either him or that other crazy guy in the White House to push the red button, there's always cricket, football, tennis and golf to fill our empty minds.
The old saying that a country gets the politicians it deserves cannot possibly be true of Australia. No country deserves politicians as bad as ours. Enjoy your bacon and eggs while you can.
