Australia is, for some, a marble table in the Prime
Minister’s suite, suitable for coffee trays, big deals, and jumping on. The
former Treasurer stomped, the Loans Minister danced on it and broke his leg.
The table was smashed. So was the deposed PM, tongue rotating in his head at 33
1/3 rpm. It was quite a breakup, that October, full details still to be pieced
together. Australia is despoiled and divided, the whole time having a party.
Offcuts were proudly displayed on desks, reminder of the greatness once
bestowed on them by the people, trophies of achievements they destroyed.
