Hmm.... I guess if Le Pen gets in, they'll start nuking us all down under

The phrase that Sinclair quoted above is almost word for word what they
used as an excuse for continuing the Nuclear "tests" last time, followed
by some captain of a French vessel saying that it really didn't matter
because "Australia is just a nation of miners", or something to that effect.
Really endeared themselves to us, they did...
Oh what joy to look forward to!
