No, they sent in moi. In 2000, I worked for Sydney City Council helping the homeless, as you do
well that backfired on him
It's not the old boy's fault. I imagine he suffers from an acute form of trauma, poor thing.
After all, what's the first instinct one has when one sees a homeless person?
Call out the army. It's the kind of heightened, triggered and extremist response you get from toddlers. Most of us suppress this instinct in order to get along. Freud had a few things to say about the process.
But no, in the old boy's defence, he's not doing that. Frank wasn't the one who's motorcade passed by a Washington park, captured a quick glimpse of a homeless person sleeping on a bench, and settled on the topic of his next media briefing.
No, that was Frank's DL, who must be defended and obeyed at all times. And do you know?
Frank will go to such lengths to defend him, he'll play whatabout-that with the Sydney Olympics - the best Olympics ever, in the best little city in the world.
So that's Frank. He's so far gone even Sad's given up trying to bring him round. The only way you can appeal to these people is through the use of gratuitous violence - a bit of the old biffo.
Just think, the old boy has to go through his real life hiding his support for all this. This board is Frank's only real out, the only place he feels safe to vent his political views.
Outside, the fear of being exposed must be palpable. Imagine going out on polling day, for example, smelling the sausages, seeing all those Aussie flags and seething with rage over how dessssspicable democracy is.
You have to feel for them, JS, it can't be easy.
