Reference :- Self-effacing Sky News anchor and weather boy Rowan Dean took the credit for the cancelling of China's Belt and Road Initiative plans in Australia .

Reference :-  Young Rowan is not one to blow his own tuba , but on this occasion he felt compelled to point out that he has foiled China's plans to dominate Australia .

That was a great result Rowan .  I guess the advantage you have is that all the world leaders no doubt watch your news segment looking for advice on how to run the world .   False modesty is unbecoming , so of course you should accept the credit you deserve . 

 Ken junior says that hardly anybody watches your show , so how could you be so influential ?   But it's not how many people watch your show , it's who they are that matters .   I have heard a rumor that the other night our Prime Minister's tele fritzed out , and rather than miss your broadcast he drove around to a mate's place in his pajamas post -haste , to tune in . '

 Anyway Rowan , you seem to have stopped including your compelling musical interludes of late . I hope it's not because somebody sued you for using their creative genius to promote  a neoliberal creed that they despise .  

 Currently there is a bit of a fracas brewing over President Trump's use of Leonard Cohen's song "  Hallelujah" for marketing purposes .     Although Mr Cohen is deceased , I reckon he would not approve .  

Mind you , Mr Cohen did write a song that he possibly would be happy for Mr Trump to exploit . 

Remember this one Rowan ? It starts like this . 

                                          Everybody Knows     ( by Leonard Cohen ) 

                           Everybody knows that the dice are loaded 

                           Everybody Rolls with their fingers crossed 

                           Everybody knows the war is over 

                           Everybody knows the good guys lost 

                          Everybody knows the fight was fixed 

                          The poor stay poor the rich get rich 

                          That's how it goes 

                           Everybody knows  

 You should mention it in your next appearance , and  Mr Trump will no doubt appreciate the tip when he  tunes in for his daily advice .     

                      Your comrade , Ken .
