Paul, do I detect a slippery slope argument here (or is that a weak analogy)?
Just because you are Australian, doesn't mean that you are a leftist. The two
can be mutually exclusive.
You Australians have to stop having an inferiority complex. Some of the best
on TV (the Science Fiction Channel) is now from Australia and New Zealand
("Zena", "Hercules" and above all "Farscape") and then there are those
interesting Australian "Travels with Alby Mangels" on the Travel Channel.
On the otherhand, LEGO is real expensive there, and LEGO Australia did destroy
those dumpsters full of old classic LEGO spare parts...... communists! :-)
