Which would you rather read while getting pissed?

I don’t know about you but I’d reckon I’d rather go to a party thrown by the public health department of the Basque government in San Sebastian than the miserablist gits at the National Preventative Health Taskforce. More wine, Nicola*?

* Roxon, that is

Exceedences? Surely not from Robbo.

Hang on, was Robbo affecting intelligence or just unintelligible?

Robbo’s department predicted, ahem, good air quality today because of expected rain.

Staff didn’t even have to open the freakin’ window to work out that it was a tad dusty outside. That they couldn’t see through it might have been a hint.

It was all OK in the end because, as Robbo may have said, "as soon as air quality exceedences began to be recorded at air quality monitoring stations health alerts were automatically generated."

Of course, Robbo is a mega-brain so, perhaps, dust in the reporter’s ears resulted in a misquotation. Perhaps he was adopting No. 5 of this organ’s past advice.

Litigation is unlikely. Anyone affected by dust who had relied on the NSW Department of the Environment’s website would be pinged for contributory negligence. The letters "NSW" and the name John Robertson are all the evidence required for a successful government defence.
