TV

Today I caught a TV interview with the prime minister of Australia, Albo, trying very hard to be Hawkie.

He was wearing hi-vis of course and he was standing in front of (a) a random selection of treated pine, representing an actual place of physical work, and (b) at least three of his staff that intermittently smiled and nodded, but mostly just looked stupidly serious or seriously stupid.

Or were they unemployed actors temporarily employed to do the same?

In either case it looks really weird and can’t possibly have a positive effect, no matter how many drugs the electorate consumes.

It sort of reminded me of that Robert Palmer music clip with the mute models in the background air playing all their instruments.

You might a well face it you’re addicted to love. Just stop it…
