Yea the Age!
I love my local newspaper. It has great local and national reporting, as well as a good international bureau. And it’s also lefty-leaning, which is a nice change from the Chicago Tribune. Also, in a story about whether or not Costello’s going to try to wrest power from Howard, it runs quotes like this:
“That’s just bullshit,” he said. “We had our chance on Monday and Peter decided not to take it. Howard’s not going to go, and Peter’s made it very clear he’s not going to force him out.”
Couldn’t you have just started with the second part of the quote? Front page, Sunday morning - though below the fold. Very larrikin.
Then again, this is the newspaper that had a full half page article on sexual kinks in Australia a few Sundays ago. I was eating my breakfast, and there was an enormous picture of a highheeled leg with a handcuff around it. I was like, “What?” and, as you do, looked at the little graphic box embedded in the text before starting the article. Which is why the first thing I learned that morning was that 44% of Aussies have anal sex.
Now, I’m not exactly shy, but I also wasn’t expecting to read about bondage clubs over my muesli. The Sunday Age is not afraid to push your boundaries.
