Reference :- Australia now sits last in the climate action rankings . At least we can't get any worse.
Angus , you are a smarter man than me amigo, even after a few sangrias . I think I now understand your tactic . By nudging us to the bottom of the list , all we have to do is beat the USA during some future assessment , and the right wing press can run a headline that reads " Australia marches ahead in the war against climate change '. Obviously we both know that the war is actually against climate change alarmists , not climate change per se , which is a myth . But it's best to pretend , and as always , it's important to use the expression " war against " which is the time honoured way of asserting that somebody is actually doing something constructive .
About 100,000 people die from the effects of air pollution every year over in the USA , so it shouldn't require too much effort to overtake them in the rankings .
I guess you are flying home soon . So much of Spain burned in the fires this year that the aesthetics of the countryside probably aren't worthy of a scenic tour, even if the taxpayer is shelling out for the senoritas . Try to relax on the flight home , you will need your wits about you when you return to face the treacherous plots that Mr Morrison and his front bench has been incubating during your absence .
One last thing Angus . My son Ken junior is a big fan of the Spanish actress Penelope Cruz . He figures a man of your stature would have met her by now, and that she is probably residing in a suite just up the corridor from yours , if you know what I mean . If you can score an autograph , Ken junior would be most appreciative . And if she is willing to write " To Ken junior , thanks for a great time after the Christmas party " he would be thrilled . Everybody knows they weren't at a Christmas party together , but it's just a harmless bit of fun .
It's not as though he is lying to parliament about being friends with Naomi Wolf or something .
Your comrade , Ken
