It’s Claytons all round, today. A Claytons apology, and a Claytons immigration cut. Does the term “Claytons” have the same meaning in New Zealand as it does in Australia? Like “Tui, yeah, right”, it comes from an advertising slogan (from the 70s, for a non-alcoholic drink packaged to look
I had to duck out this morning, just to check that the sun hadn’t turned to sackcloth or the moon to blood. But even those would have been secondary portents to the shattering miracle that really did occur. The ABC ran an entire article on Javier Milei without using
