INSULT UPON INSULT
Paul Bickford emails:
Roger Waters has announced he’ll daub “Free David Hicks” on the inflatable pig flown outside the venues he’s playing during his Australian tour (no link found yet) ...
A devout Muslim’s name painted on a massive pig? Has Waters no respect? Next he’ll be flushing car-sized Korans down a massive on-stage toilet. In other insensitivity developments:
Explorer, scientist and author Dr Tim Flannery ranks as hot favourite to be named the 2007 Australian of the Year at a nationally televised event on the lawns of Parliament House tomorrow night.
For the love of Gaia ... a global warming fundamentalist is the hot favourite? Flannery will likely reject the honour out of sheer disgust.
