Methinks that Allan Patience is naive and over-optimistic… He gives the game away when he writes:
“He is an Australian version of America’s Pete Buttigieg”. Oh boy! Pete Buttigieg was as efficient a Transport Supremo as a dead toad can be used for a road-block. We had high hopes about Pete, but we soon discovered he could not run an outback dunny tipping plate, as customers went for the bushes.
Having been a student of history, not as being told by Professors and historians, but as an observer of street gangs and spaces between the lines, Gus can assure Allan that had the unfortunate Cancun meteorite incident not happened, there is 75 per cent chance the dinosaurs would have evolved into smart beasts and humans would still be rats living in fear of being trodded on (we are but this is beside the point as we breed like rabbits).
