"Chaos and mayhem" is what the strongmen in power say they're protecting Australia from, but we know they're really protecting themselves from the awesome, unleashed force of Drunk Power.
I was on vacation a few years back and became friendly with a
Tasmanian couple and some other assorted Australians. They had some
rather vivid recollections of drunken raucousness to recount. If the
Australians were better in soccer, and didn't have to go so far,
they'd give the Euro hooligans a run for their money. Or beer. But
there'd be a run.
