Real conservatism...


A gem that has emerged from the new exhibition at the National Museum of Australia in Canberra, Glorious Days: Australia 1913 is the remark of the newly-elected Prime Minister, Joseph Cook.

He governed with a single seat majority, and, when challenged on his record, responded: “We’re doing nothing, and we’re doing it really well.”

Message to tinkering conservative governments everywhere.
