Tom, I agree that there's intensely motivated interest by media and elites. I'd have thought that any politician playing the crusading holier-than-thou angles Winnie has specialised in would want to be squeaky clean for exactly that reason.
Instead he has been sloppy and arrogant, and his hypocrisy is charmlessly revealed. It's that which I believe is driving the coverage you noticed on your return. He's pissed so many people off that I don't see the need for a conspiracy to explain what's going on.

You know, Winnie's story this arvo will have to be at least that contorted. Should be fun.

I feel personally equipped to be an advocate for wine
I've often been an advocate for vodka. Minister for 42 Below, perhaps?

"O he started to climb out of the hole. He pulled with his front paws, and pushed with his back paws, and in a little while his nose was in the open again ... and then his ears ... and then his front paws ... and then his shoulders ... and then-'Oh, help!' said Pooh, 'I'd better go back,' 'Oh bother!' said Pooh, 'I shall have to go on.' 'I can't do either!' said Pooh, 'Oh help and bother!' ...
Thank you, Andrew. That passage (ooh, err) was part of the reading at Canterbury Uni's Orientation Fest I mentioned nostagically to Robbery a few weeks back. I had no idea just how laden with innuendo kids books were until that momentous eve. Don't tell the Australians.
