Guest post: News for Possums
Originally a comment by Rev David Brindley on From today they re-group.
Well, Possums
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!
I would nominate Hollingworth, for the Chaplain’s job aboard the Good Ship Venus. (NB and WARNING: Words of that song may be found too ribald and sexist for some frequenters of this relatively chaste site ;-)
