Art, you’re an iconoclast! And good for you too. We’ve just had an election here that’s stirred the possum something shocking. Neither of the Big Two – Tweedledum and Tweedledummer – can govern in their own right. For the first time they’re going to have to negotiate the Lower House with three independent conservatives (who hate the Liberal National Party Opposition with a vengeance) and the very first Green to be elected to Reps. The Senate looks like it will have nine Greens, which means they’ve got the balance of power there. If they can restrain the crazier of their ideas and stop looking for white rabbits and red herrings, we’re headed for interesting times. And lots of icons burning!
