Canberra Snubbed by Ashes

15 March 2006 | che

Comrade Stanhope has put out this media release on the planned snub of Canberra by the Ashes tour. I know we’re never going to actually get a test match but the little urn of burnt bails is going on tour as well and Canberra along with Tasmania are the only places they’re not going too.

How come Nero isn’t also upset with FIFA – they’re not bringing the World Cup here either 🙁

If Stanhope’s so keen on ashes why doesn’t he just drive out to Weston Creek? 😉

But Thumping one, think of the masses, the thousands, be they cricket fans or not, who would willingly queue for hours to catch a glimpse of this holy grail should it be displayed in, say, the National Convention Centre.

They are being deprived of their human right to glimpse this little icon and our Chief Minister is championing our rights by issue of this Press Release to notify the world of this injustice.

Our Leader is, at least, thinking of the children and imploring those flint hearted cricketing authorities to mend the shattered pieces of their cricketing dreams.

The Chief Minister must be congratulated for raising this issue of critical importance by issue of a Press Release to bring this onto the national and even international stage.

Burnt bails actually.
