For your reading pleasure: David Barnett frothing over last night’s broadcast of ‘Keating the Musical’. My favourite bit:
Alexander Downer, dressed as FrankN’Furter from The Rocky Horror Show, is shown as effete. Downer, father of four children and with nothing in his private life to suggest he is anything other than as square as a butter-box…
I’d never heard that euphemism before!
…how ironic it is that the Liberals are in the process of organising an orderly transition of leadership from Brendan Nelson to Peter Costello, along the lines of the transition by agreement from Bill Hayden to Bob Hawke. Not one like the brutal coup arranged by the stabber, Paul Keating, to serve his own ambitions.
I wonder if this is an insider view, considering Barnett is Prue Goward’s partner?
Keating! the musical is no joke, and the question it invites must be taken seriously: where does all this hatred come from?
An absolute mystery, isn’t it?
