John Clarke

#Australians and #NewZealanders , at least may still be missing this blokes brilliant , unique Satire.

Here is one Mr Clarkes "small noting" definition of Satire itself:

satire
Noun:
a reaction to the process whereby
politicians and public figures
hold the community up to ridicule
and contempt.

-- John Clarke
Satirist, Comedian, Great Bloke.

Here is an excellent reissue of an article / essay written back in 2017 or thereabouts.

https://insidestory.org.au/john-clarke-and-the-power-of-satire/

It has some 2026 observations backed onto the end so that the front bit wont fall off.

Including this lift.

"Clarke thought that a satirist should think about solutions as well as problems. He never kicked somebody because they were down, but he also thought there was little point kicking somebody simply because they were up."

If your into actual satire and comedy ... have a geek.

Wellington Trade Fair. From: The New Zealanders portfolio
Scene at the Wellington Trade Fair in 1970. Four young people are standing at a makeshift barrier. The two young Maori men and a young Pakeha woman (wearing a St. John Ambulance uniform) are watching proceedings beyond the barrier, but the Maori woman between the other three turns to look at the Ambulance Officer instead.
