I read his rant. Naturally he had to revert to form, but the first part of it was sufficiently damning. The moment he said he came from Darwin he was 'on song'. I can't wait to miss the movie. He said there was a shot of a small racist white kid, slanging off at at black kid, whilst holding a kangaroo. I'll never forgive Luhrmann for some of the tripe I've had to put up with from non-Oz born citizens. I’m a little bit disconcerted. I read his rant.

I'm interested that you call him a 'little man'. It is my bitter experience that two of the greatest evils in history are religion, and little men. As his audience is composed of people whose literacy usually begins where the big pictures and the footy columns, I'm surprised they cottoned on to him in the first place. Having said that I have to admit he is like a vampire. He fastens on to the suppurating wounds of the lower class. (I know this is offensive terminology but I can't think of an alternative description). Their hatreds, their bias, the evil in their hearts whilst gently fanning the wound and leaving behind a running and open sore. (This is actually what a vampire bat does. And they are small and rather cute) I think you are being optimistic to think he will be restrained by being caught in a cleft stick about Rupert's equally cringe-making movie. He will merely blame it all on the global warming worriers amongst us. Ditto the Stolen Generation. Like they weren't stolen in the first place. Jonathan, you and I and lots of other people must grow up. The slaughter of the Armenians by the Turks never happened. Auschwitz was a fairy tale, so was Buchenwald and hey, nobody ever went to war in Iraq. And my name is Clark von Stonehause. Or Fred Nerk.
