We've had five Prime Ministerial changes in as many years.

    Meet the new boss,

    Same as the old boss

I know! I actually do follow Aussie issues.

I was actually trying to be clever and referring to the last lyric in this song!

Election cycle in Canada too. No minority please so we do not have to do that once a year.

Oh! Well I was also trying to be clever with the same song!

I'm not used to people that aren't from Australia having any knowledge whatsoever of our political goings on.

I have to admit I haven't got the slightest clue what's going on in Canada... Even though I've got a lot of friends there.

I never did follow Australian politics until I had several Aussies stay at my house a few years ago. They were friends of a friend and were travelling the globe.

For some reason they wanted to go to Wayne Gretzky's restaurant. Three of them went out the front door for a smoke and I went out with them and Walter Gretzky (Wayne's dad) happened to be coming in. I introduced myself as he and my brother knew each other. He then came over to our table and sat down for an hour or so. There was a photographer there for some unknown reason and the next day our pic ended up on the front page of the biggest daily in Canada.

They insisted on giving me a fiver when they left the next day. Said it could not be ripped.
