Determined as I am tonight to post my thoughts I just can't do it. I'm falling asleep at the desk. In brief, I'm grateful to have been born here and live in this affluent country of more than 7.5 million square kilometres.
The low point of the day was the General Peter Cosgrove's Australia Day speech. What a load of eulogistic, politically correct, sycophantic bulldust. Talk about wallpapering over cracks and sweeping under the carpet.
Platitudinous nonsense! Fair dinkum, I winced throughout. I think the rest of the world must be getting a bit sick of Australians saying how good we are.
Cosgrove likened himself to a test cricket batsman having a good innings, in good nick despite the odd slips chance. I think it's time he copped a good bouncer and pulled his head in. I'm tiring of Australian self aggrandisement. Let's roll up our sleeves, get our arses into gear, and repair the damage we've done to this amazing continent over two hundred years. Stop taking 'sickies' for starters, and stop wanting more and more for less input. And stuff the flag. Why start arguing over the flag? What the hell difference does a flag make, or a change to it? What pomping bloody nonsense!
