Vicious, accurate and maliciously enjoyable portrayal of the delusions of what is referred to in Canberra as the Department of foreign fairies.

You weren't by chance, in another life, the speechwriter behind Paul Keating's jibe on Peacock, that a "souffle never rises twice"? By chance listening as teenager - most withering bemusing solioquy I'm ever likely to hear in one lifetime - and I wasn't voting Labor!

Thanks for the comp, but no. Not old enough.

Besides, if you listen to Keating, it was all him. He did all by himself. No advisors, colleagues, staff, bureaucrats, Hawke. All Keating all day.
