Simpson + donkey = Aus.

'EDUCATION Minister Brendan Nelson has bluntly told Islamists who do not want to accept and teach Australian values that they should "clear off".'

Simpson and his donkey apparently epitomize Australian values.

Simpson went around with his donkey providing what we now call an ambulance service in World War 1. Now, as this is representative of Australia, he charged a massive fee for this, unless they were a Simpson & Donkey Service subscriber, much like the ambulance service today. Also, quite often random other Australian’s wouldn’t like his gung-ho approach when transporting injured peoples, and would get in his way, or refuse to move if already in his way, as happens all too often for Australian ambulances.

Furthermore, once Simpson had reached the Medical Corps tents, they would be made to sit and wait, bleeding or not, for many numbers of hours, for no apparent reason. Unless they had enough money to invest in medical insurance, in which case they were considerably more valuable, as they obviously were rich, and were treated far more promptly. Also, continuing with the Aussie spirit, if they injured person was also a celebrity, say, the early 20th century version of Kylie, hospital beds were made empty, so the celebrity could have a little bit more peace.

Actually I just made up all the above, Simpson didn’t charge anything, he is a true Aussie hero, and I'd just like to apologize for suggesting otherwise, and there may not have been private military hospitals.

Awesome points on today's medical care. And how delicious that as an illegal immigrant Simpson like would have been Baxters if he'd jump ship today.

I was listening to JJJ Hack on the way home today, and they were discussing the lauding of Simpson.

The historian noted that good old Mr Simpson was an ardent unionist whose disgust at the cultural elite was fairly evident in letters home.

I like to think that were Simpson alive now and he was being lauded by the coalition as the standard bearer for the icon Aussie, and they had a special presentation for him for being such a great Ozzer, that it's likely he'd take the opportunity to yank the earring from Nelson's ear and then drop a foot into his Private Nelsons.

Wiki entry is pretty kewl too.

Oh dear, seems we need a new Australian idol. (Man they sure sucked the meaning out of that phrase)

How about Fred Hollows! OK, he's a New Zealander, but that never stops us. Surely he represents the self-sacrifice the Liberal party likes to define as Australian values!

Hmm.. he was appalled at government disinterest in Aboriginal medical care, refused Order of Australia because of it, dodged western multinational bullcrap by setting up manufacturing plants in remote countries, and might just be an anarcho-syndicalist.. a branch of anarchism which focuses on the labour movement.. Liberals need to pick another hero, stat.

I bet they choose Howard.

Except of course he has to die first...

Simpson was a good samaritan. If people need the significance of that explained, well, we're all fucked.
