19862 This Is One Of Those Things That Hopefully Will Just Go Away Over Time (10)

Bondi, NSW

If there was any doubt that Bjorn Godwin and Jette Gejl's work had Tony Abbott (described in the previous image) in mind when they created this work, it's dispelled by this part of it.

Abbott was famously photographed in some form of beach athletic competition (I neither recall nor care what) wearing red Speedos and they've become his personal symbol ever since. Abbott loves his "action man" photo opportunities; they make him look like my old buddy Vlad Putin, but without the same level of gravitas.

Oh for a "leader" who is photographed in a library, absorbing and distilling ideas. Nope, it'll never happen.
