Is there a more appalling person on this planet than Alan “The Parrot” Jones? Democracy WTF? indeed.

I loved how most of the surging, salivating throng of 300 looked to be grey nomads sitting on their folding camp chairs with their thermoses to hand. The best entertainment they’ve had in years. They’ll dine out on this around the caravan park BBQs for months!

As the lyrics to the song go:
” Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?
Gloria, don’t you think you’re fallin’?”

I’m sure that just like Red Dog, Grey Cat will steal the hearts of all he encounters as he travels the wide brown land of Canberra.

I honestly hope that A Jones hears about your description of him. His reaction would be priceless.
