driver 121242 is pretty close to the mark in his post #742.

If you want some idea of what you are up against, here's an example: Tim Webster, former television anchor and now consigned to a weekend daytime slot on Sydney radio 2UE, was editorialising yesterday (Sunday) about Julia Gillard's mishandling of the Qantas debacle and waxing lyrical about one Robert James Lee Hawke, who "had a close relationship" with Sir Peter Abeles, (said with much approval), "which allowed him to fix the 1989 **pilots' strike** (his term) "in short order" (said with much approval).

He then went on to say "...love him or loathe him, you have to accept that this was Bob Hawke's finest hour".

That's what you're up against.
