Whales do die of old age, you know
If I were Australian, and John Clarke weren’t a New Zealander, and he really were a politician, he’d probably get my vote. Here’s a video of a wonderfully deadpan Clarke and Dawe skit based on a minor controversy over the possible cause of death of a whale near where an oil company was preparing to do seismic testing. The news report gives the required background, and then Brian Dawe interviews “minister” John Clarke about it on ABC Australia’s satirical show, The 7.30 Report.
No surprise that in a recent interview, Clarke cites the Goons among his comic heroes.
Now, see, if you were on [avjokes], you’d have known about this several months ago.
