Thanks Brian for the original link, Andrew for the local colour. Clarke
reminds me of a particular London lawyer (who I suspect would not mind being
compared to him) which adds something to my enjoyment.
I discover that there's a run of four on the same topic here, all every bit
as insightful:

Regrettably the others depend on an appreciation of Australian politics to
enjoy to the full.

is possibly the funniest man in the Antipodes - he used to be a Kiwi but
we're claiming him now.
