And yes, Irwin was a totally embarrassment and I do agree with Germain Greer and her timely and insightful comments. I was sad to see the bloke go, and I am sure a lot of people liked him, but it is also good to see some Australian academics with a bit of courage who willing to take on the rising tides of populists yobbo boys and their low brow heroes.We all have a right to speak, even opportunistic Premiers of Queensland who would chase any old ambulance as long as there was a vote in it.
