Well, the Australian of the Year has been announced and he seems to be moderately worthy, I guess. Some kind of scientist involved in some kind of ... science. Good for him. Still, I would have preferred it be me, or maybe Wanyi, Ellie, Bonnie, or Viv, or Eileen, or Richard, or Penny, or Coral, or Siobhan, or Jordy, or Sarah, or Florence, or my brother Laurie, or my nephew James, or Ivy Rose, or Heidi, or Deb, or Sarah or Katie . I really don't know what is wrong with these judges. What were they thinking? It will take a long, long time to fix up Australia, that's for sure.

The winner, after me and my brother Laurie, should have been our nephew, James Fitzpatrick.
