As I was saying to Diocletian over Prosecco just last week, it is hard to run an empire these days. You have to lie to people more or less incessantly to keep the troops minding the perimeter in supplies. No falsehood is too preposterous to gain the public’s acquiescence. At times you have to deceive even the Senate. |

Australia’s then ambassador to the US, Joe Hockey, came to the rescue by getting Trump’s number from the US-based Greg Norman, who was a friend of the golf-mad president-elect. |

We went and checked the mail today after a few days of not doing so. Our post office box was pretty full, which is fairly unusual. The contents were stuffed in a bag as we had other things to do before we went home. On arrival at home, my partner opened the letters, one of which was addressed to me from the New South Wales government. It was a fine notice for a parking offence in Queanbeyan in early March.
