Our hearts go out at this sad time to Camille. I suggest
we allow her a 48 hour silence while she composes
her explanation of the way in which all those Australians -
longing desperately for a President - were bamboozled
into rejecting that fine tribune of the people, Mr Turnbull.
I wonder did they, at the last moment, remember Hilaire Belloc's
cautionary tale of Jim. We could ALL benefit from the moral:
'And always keep a hold of Nurse
For fear of finding something worse.'
