This excellent rant should be sent to every government department and media outlet in the country. We used to pride ourselves, rightly or wrongly, on being an easygoing bunch with a bit of a larrikin streak and a can-do attitude. Lately, though, we seem to have become a bunch of uptight, heavily-regulated scolds who aren’t that great at just getting things done properly. (Christ, we’ve even had an online debate about whether Channel 9 should’ve shown Ash Barty having a beer. Nothing to do with airports, but yet more evidence of our sad decline.)
