The Luck of Fools

Added on 26th May 2014

For while it is true that one is lucky if born in Australia - it is not true that this fortunate position is itself merely a product of luck.

Rather, modern Australia has been at its best when shaped by Fools - those courageous, subtle souls who speak truth to power.
