Values Australia does not want to pretend any false modesty. It is delighted to have been mentioned by its favourite page in the Sydney Morning Herald: Stay in Touch.We think that most people are probably like George W. (and us) and quickly scan the headlines before flipping over to the back page for something a little less depressing.
Still, Values Australia is not aware of ever having been accused of being rhetorical and is not sure whether that is a criticism or a compliment.
Whatever, Values Australia is determined not to let its newfound fame go to its head.
(On a side note, if you found your email running slowly yesterday, it was probably caused by Values Australia emailing all its friends.)
As a special celebratory gift to our visitors, we offer this video which we discovered today.
The part of the “Prime Minister” is taken by T Rex; “Foreign Minister” is played by Ornitholestes, and “The Next Prime Minister” is played by Pig.
