A Betoota Heights man, who rides the electric trolley bus to work each morning down the fabled Greenbauer Street in our town’s heart, has told our reporters he knows the name of every state and territory leader in this country thanks to the coronavirus crisis.
Which is odd because Todd Grady doesn’t care about any other state than his home state of Queensland.
“There is no reason why anybody outside of South Australia should know who the South Australian Premier is,” he said.
“But I know it’s Steven Marshall, for some reason,”
“I know that the Tasmanian one is old Agent 47 himself, Peter Gutwein. Again, as a red-blooded Queenslander, I have no business knowing his name. Or even what he looks like. I mean, he’s no Jim Bacon. You could pick him out of a Glasgow lineup,”
“Old smoothbrain McGowan in The West. Yep, know that bloke. Fuck me, this shit is taking up so much of my mental RAM. Each time I see one of these people on TV, it’s like opening another tab on Firefox.”
More to come.
