Tis the season of ex-prime ministers. “Julia”, a blistering play climaxing in Julia Gillard’s misogyny speech, has just opened in Sydney. There was the Keating show at the National Press Club in Canberra, more King Lear than Placido Domingo. Kevin Rudd is striding the international boards again in Washington, this time as Australia’s US ambassador.

Malcolm Turnbull has launched a timely new podcast on the need to defend democracy. John Howard has resumed his elder statesman role in seeking to reassure the Liberal Party that it has not reached the end of its run. Scott Morrison seems to be preparing for his exit, stage right naturally.

…

As someone who has spent a large share of his professional life covering the White House, I have always been intrigued at how Australia regards its one-time occupants of The Lodge. Every former US president now gets a presidential library that bears their name, something which would obviously be anathema to Australians.

QUITE FUNNY REALLY…

NICK BRYANT HAS CLASS… THOUGH JOH NEVER MADE IT TO THE TOP JOB, NICK SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED BJELKE PETERSEN, WHO SHOWED US HOW TO RAPE LANDSCAPES WITH STYLE.

TRYING TO COMPARE THE CIVILITIES IN WASHINGTON BETWEEN FORMER PRESIDENTS AND THE AUSSIE PRIMAL MINISTERS BUM FIGHTS IS AKIN TO COMPARE THE DEVILS OF HELLFIRE WITH A BUNCH OF SQUIRRELS — OR CORGI LAPDOGS.

THE AMERICAN PRESIDENTS ARE ALL WAR CRIMINALS.

AND THEY RESPECT EACH OTHERS LIKE THE NAZIS WITHIN THE BEST NASTIEST SS BRIGADE. THEY ARE NOT GOING TO DENOUNCE EACH OTHER AS HAVING PERFORMED THE WORSE BOMBING OF LIBYA OR BELGRADE. IT COMES WITH THE TERRITORY: A LIBRARY — WHICH DONALD TRUMP NOT BEING GIVEN HIS OWN, BECAUSE THE ESTABLISHMENT HATED HIM (STILL DO APPARENTLY), DECIDED TO KEEP DOCUMENTS AT HOME. JOE BIDEN DID THE SAME AWAITING TO BE BOOTED OUT OR DIE ON THE JOB, WITH ALL FANFARE FOR DECLARING A PROXY WAR ON RUSSIA: NO AMERICAN SOLDIERS COMING BACK TO THE "LAND OF COLLAPSING BANKS" IN BODY BAGS IS SOMETHING TO TOUT ABOUT.

SQUIRRELS DO FIGHT EACH OTHERS FOR NUTS. SURE. BUT THEY ARE CUTE — EXCEPT TONY ABBOTT AND SCOTT MORRISON WHO WERE WOLVES DISGUISED AS SHEEP, IN THE SQUIRELLING-LAPDOG WORLD.
