can't see the wood

Basil Zempilas writes that, covid events in SA remind us that we're not out of the woods yet. (20/11)

The world has more and more covid cases every day. Two possible vaccines are still six to twelve months from general availability.

What world does Basil live in, where he needs reminding?

honest headline

"MPs of one mind on anthem change". That's a headline in today's daily paper.

Never a truer word spoken, I thought.

It's no surprise at all, that multiple MPS can, between them, raise only one mind.

Waltzing Matilda

Waltzing Matilda as the Australian national anthem? An excellent suggestion by Brian Greig (Letters, 12/11).

It's a simple tune with memorable words. Any child can learn the words and enjoy the story. Better yet, it's a typical Aussie joke, to have a popular song as our anthem. No need to be embarrassingly up ourselves, we are Australians.

Best of all, the song and tune are known around the world. And know to be Australian. At least it was. Before we replaced national self satisfaction with cultural cringe.

Adopt Waltzing Matilda. We can then enjoy singing our national anthem. As Australians.
