Bring back the Mysterious Boy!

The British ruling elite have a lot to answer for with regard to their long history of ransacking and pillaging important archaeological and anthropological treasures from other countries. Countless important artefacts, of both cultural and artistic significance, have been plundered, generally from regions poorer than Britain. The word elginism was derived from Lord Elgin and his theft of the Parthenon Marbles. Rightfully, there are often impassioned campaigns to have these pieces, like the Marbles or the Rosetta stone, returned to their country of origin.

In Australia I believe that we are sorely remiss in our neglect of one such cause. There is a national treasure that has been looted from our shores, and I, for one, believe that it is high time we began to pressure the British government to bring it back to us. Certainly, it has become extremely decrepit and possesses shaky cultural value in our modern times but it has a definite historical weight. An earlier, more primitive people held this object up as an idol! How long will we allow it to be kept from us? It belongs in Australia, in not only its true spatial context, but also its true cultural context.

Peter Andre. It's time he was returned home.

Sure, he's a greasy spiv, but he's our greasy spiv.

In England, the man is reduced to second base with a badly tanned, hairless, oversized Barbie doll. In Australia, he would have his pick of real, flesh and blood women. Bring him home!
