If it is one thing about Australia is that we should be able to take the piss out of each other on the odd occassion, when we put ourself in the firing line.
If you haven't got a sense of humour then you won't last 2 seconds here. I never thought that we would be so pathetic that we would be insulted by a one dimensional cartoon depicting two of our top paid public servants showing each other a little affection. I have seen better stuff on toilet walls. But if you live in a glass house you shouldn't throw stones. Who give's a rats who gets upset? The day we lose our freedom to take the piss out of those who deserve it then we are slaves.
The only thing I saw in this piddly little event is that Australia got the 2nd punch in, and I thought something more clever from our cartoonist was found wanting.
