This shocking incident [irony alert] disrupted the Governor-General of Australia in full flow during a speech to the Family Council of Queensland in Brisbane. The very location of this stunt adds to the piquancy, both for the state's name and for the fact that a former State Premier was noted for his 'traditional' views, although I daresay things are different now. It amused me anyway ...
NB/ I've often wondered about precisely where the title I have used came from; I knew it alluded to the late Queen Victoria as a commentary from an audience-member during a play, but this scholarly article gives the low-down, if you are interested.
