He says ‘This is Bad’ because (watch it) he’s saying the Shark is so good, it will destroy every other ute. The ute is a totem in Australian (and US) life. It stands for everything in both of those societies that is resiting urgently needed change. The previous PM evoked them regularly, as a dog-whistle to a certain type of attitude about Australia. The Shark should torpedo this entire wankpanzer culture. I say should, because it’s so superior to the other rubbish on offer. But that culture is resistant. We’ll see. If people have tens of thousands spare to keep the great Aussie totem alive, well…fools and their money.
