(with apologies to the late John Clarke)“Minister, thanks for joining us. This week you released a new initiative you are calling The Red Thing.”
“That’s right David. This is yet another bold and excellent initiative of this government. We’re immensely proud to have delivered The Red Thing for the benefit of all Australians.” “Why is it blue?” “It’s a red thing, David.” “Minister, we’ve examined it closely. We’ve asked experts for their analysis. It is unquestionably blue.” “David, I can’t speak for the competence of your experts, but I can assure you that this is a red thing.” “But Minister, look at it. Right there in front of you. It is blue.” “What you are displaying here, David, is a lack of proper understanding. You need to look beyond the veneer. Underneath what you erroneously call it’s apparent blueness this is, fundamentally and without ambiguity, a red thing. Thanks for allowing me to clear that up.”
