I had hoped to bring you a cheery Christmas tale, but the political goings on in Melbourne and Canberra mean I will have to postpone that pleasure and be serious. I must first say something about the Victorian election. After all, I live in Prahran which is not just Prahran, but South Yarra and Toorak and yet it is on the cusp of being won by the ghastly Greens or Labor.
