It’s funny how in interviews pulling out a voice recorder can change the whole dynamic and turn things suddenly formal. Like it’s been made clear this is on the record. The funny and interesting thing is how bold the line is that divides our sense of what we can/should say in private and public.
Isn’t there a similar division, perhaps, though on a broader different scale, between how we behave in Australia and how we behave overseas? In that case, the line when crossed makes people diplomats. But the kind of diplomat they will be depends on the kind of Australia they wish to represent to the world.
Broadly speaking, there are diplomats for a Contiki/lucky country/you beaut Australia, and there are those who are clearly not into that, thank you very much. Like dark matter in the universe, the majority is probably anti-Contiki. You just don’t see them much.
