Hmmm. At least the Aussies have successfully resisted becoming the soft-touch, PC-riddled, broke, bow-and-scrape-to-the-EU, hype-and-reality-TV obsessed, 10-new-quangos-a-week laughing stock that we have sat back and allowed ourselves to become.....
No elected Goverment official presiding over a broken economy over there would expect to keep his life if he (or his quango-fest) spent thousands on using "TV celebrities" to advertise ".gov.uk", bought prime-time TV time to speak down to us regarding how to properly cook the turkey or ordered (on the same day) the conservation of salt during "THE BIG FREEZE" and everyone to make sure they slip/slide their kids to school for their OFQUAL exams.
