Nothing breaks the haze of an Australian summer quite like press reports that Australia has a role – however small – in an international news story.
A swell party…for some…..
Pig Trump and Weasel McConnell had booked a band called “The Supply Siders” to entertain the guests, and more particularly the animals outside who hadn’t been invited. Pig Trump and Weasel McConnell had heard of them from their friends – and all those friends said they would be great – but no one had never actually seen them perform.
Doing a Bradbury ⛸❄️…..
So when Stephen Bradbury, a 29 year old Australian won the 1,000 metre speed skating event at the 2002 Winter Olympics when all of the other competitors fell over, a new phrase was born.
“To do a Bradbury”.
Biting the hand….
President Trump has bought a new variation to the saying of “don’t bite the hand that feeds you”.
His approach appears to be “bite the hand that may slap you”.
Past lessons 🤫….
This is part of our ongoing investigative series into the Trump White House.
Our reporting has led us to a book called “Managing the White House” which is the “bible” used by all administrations.
It started on a few scraps of paper written out by George Washington in 1789 to remind him of his tasks for the next day. It is now in its 45th edition and, of course, is electronic.
