->We arrived at this position - [[{{Dystopia}} this]] Creator/GeorgeOrwell [[{{Dystopia}} nightmare in which we all now live]] - willingly, it seems. That's what I mean by miserable reading.
->[[HypocrisyNod But look at me, the great judge and critic]]. What example have I set, even in these last weeks, that's so wonderful? At what stage in this whole sorry saga have I stood up and cried ''enough!'' Who have I helped? [[HypercompetentSidekick Harry]]? [[TokenEvilTeammate Aisha]]? [[LaResistance The Underground]]? Anyone at all? Not bloody likely. I sit here and write, and turn the pages of [[Doorstopper/LawAndGovernment Hansard]], and I remember the deaths of virtually every single person I came in contact with after that cyclone descended on my resort. And frankly - when I look back over my role in these events - I feel about as useless and as ineffectual as all the other men who have sat in this very chair since 1996, when John Howard and [[PresidentEvil my brother]] took power and the country was set on this godforsaken path.
