Federal Liberal MP Danna “Stay Brave and True” Vale’s suggestion of establishing a Gallipoli theme park in Australia is truly inspirational. Just think: instead of having to trek halfway around the world every Anzac Day, now truebluedinkidi Aussies will be able to camp overnight on (mock) gravestones, get roaringly drunk, sing Chisel songs and leave behind tons of garbage right in our own backyard! And what better place for such antics than the pristine natural environment of the Mornington Peninsula? I’m assured by Ms Vale it is just like the real thing - only, I imagine, less war-ravaged and, you know, Turkish.
Thank you, good people of the electorate of Hughes, for electing Ms Vale as your representative and thereby ensuring a constant source of entertainment for the nation. A truly selfless act on your part, and I salute you.
My favourite follow up story in today’s papers is this one. Turns out that when Bracksy sneered at the idea yesterday, he had either forgotten or was unaware that his department had written to Ms Vale earlier this year lending support and encouragement for the idea. Nice one! Let's have a moment of sympathetic silence for the poor public servant who drafted that letter who is today receiving a hearty roasting.
