I wonder if things are shifting. Just a little bit. They’re not spitting on his grave, in fact they’re reversing the damnatio memoriae they gave him when he was alive.
I’m seeing claims on Facebook, now that he’s safely dead and can’t Sue, that Barry Humphries was a close friend and supporter of a pædophile, and suggestions that he might have been one too.
Regardless of the veracity of the claims, am I wrong to think that this is cowardly behaviour? Why not confront him years ago, when there might have been a chance to discover the truth? How does it benefit the putative victims to spread such rumours now?
Bill Shorten, a government minister, is urging the city of Moonee Ponds (Dame Edna’s home) to erect a brass statue of the Dame.
People in Adelaide, remembering how hard Humphries worked to save Her Majesty’s Theatre from destruction are calling for it to be renamed The Barry.
And Gladioli growers are hastening to develop a new flower to be called Edna.
Meanwhile, an actual, proven friend of paedophiles, former Governor-General of Australia and former Anglican Bishop of Brisbane, has been found “fit for ministry” as long as he apologises to two sex abuse victims he failed. This is the “Bishop of Christ” who appeared on a national TV program and blamed one of the victims!
