LIfe Imitates Monty Python

This here's the wattle, symbol of our land, stick it on your collar, forget the motherland
A Monty Python joke at Australia's expense finally came true yesterday when a minister sought to boost the cause of republicanism by praising the humble wattle shrub.

Australia's immigration minister argued that the country could be persuaded to cut ties with Britain if it showed greater appreciation of the Golden Wattle, Acacia pycnantha.
Now, if only the immigration minister's name was Bruce. Think he'll mind if I call him Bruce?
