    The music of my people (Australia Day Blog)

    January 26 is Australia Day. It’s a day that I am in two minds about. While it is nice that we have a day to celebrate our nation and values, it has become somewhat more a declaration of nationalism. I do fear our pride may be leading us to forget the lessons of history.

    But that is a blog for someone more politically savvy than me.

Australia does exactly what you expect. · 10:49am Apr 20th, 2020

When it comes to memes about Australia, there are two broad categories of the way we respond. We either gently correct the misconception, or we steer into it at full throttle.

25 years of quietly telling the internet that kangaroos do not bound down the streets of our major cities. COVID-19 hits and this happens in Adelaide.

The memes are true. There’s no point trying to fight them. I’m off to wrestle the dunny spider for my last toilet-paper roll. If you don’t hear from me, a snake probably fed me to a shark, or something. Shrimps on the BBQ for all...
