“At least Nero fiddled only a few miles from the great fire of Rome, Smoko’s gone to fucking Hawaii”.
ANU Professor of History, Julius Aqueduct, has dispelled claims that the PM’s actions are reminiscent of Nero’s actions in response to the great fire of 64 AD.
“The idea that Emperor Nero played the fiddle in his villa while Rome was decimated is likely a myth. The idea that Emperor Smoko would spend years fuelling bushfires, ignore pleas from fire chiefs to prepare for the worst, do virtually nothing to help firefighters once the emergency is under way, then head off on holiday to Hawaii in the midst of the crisis is a horrifying reality”.
“As a History Professor, I can say with authority that Smoko’s policies compare unfavourably with the less destructive scorched-earth policies of World War Two”, Professor Aqueduct said.
