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.
