There's a lot of talk over here about where Australia's capital should really be and it's getting very unseemly.
We've had ex-PM Paul Keating saying it should be on Garden Island in Sydney Harbour - presumably where the populace can't get at the pollies, well, not unless they're good swimmers - Queensland Premier Beattie reckons for some unknown reason that it should be in Brisbane (I hear there is room near the topless car wash) and someone in Melbourne thinks it should be there because it's trendy and they dress in black. Apparently people in Canberra have no idea where the capital is but they say they have enough space for one.
Now let's bring some common sense to all of this. Just move it back to London where it belongs, and then all will be well once again.
