And then, late last week in a moment of suddenly honest heat-induced clarity, Andrew Bolt revealed all:
EXCUSE me if I sound cross. Didn’t get much sleep, after the power to my home and air-conditioner – was cut three times.Oops. Make that now four.
And last night I counted all the plants I lost because the Government can’t get me enough water, either.
Thirteen so far, actually, plus the two lawns. Not to mention the grass of the park down the end of our street.
No power, little water and the radio just now was warning that dozens more trains were being cancelled, too.
So, yes, I’m tired and cranky. But aren’t you also angry – enraged – that our great city has been brought so low by such mammoth incompetence?
Fact is, Victoria is now paying the price for being too green, blind and thick to build basic stuff for a population we let grow far too fast.
Melburnians in particular this week suffered for it.
And there it is: it’s too hot in my house and my plants are dying. Entire river systems must pay for this.

We’ve only got two river systems in Victoria. Thanks to the indolence, graft and corruption by every state government since the time of the late, very unlamented Henry Bolte-who was so corrupt he bought himself a gong-they are both stuffed, knackered, butchered graveyards.
The last of my flowers ended up attached to the lapel of a coat worn by the equally unlamented Sarah Palin.
PS: Andrew Bolt knows as much about the environment as his almost name-sake, Henry Bolte. And as much as I do about the inner workings of the Bumblebee. Fu-k all.
