''I grew up in a Queensland country town, where people spoke their minds bluntly,'' he wrote. ''They distrusted big government as something that could be corrupted if not watched carefully. The dark days of corruption in the Queensland government before the Fitzgerald Inquiry are testimony to what happens when the politicians gag the media from reporting the truth.''
''These things have stayed with me through the years. WikiLeaks was created around these core values.''

I was waiting for something like this to happen! ;)
Congratulations! The world of 2049 will not lack for audacious world-changing individuals born in country qld. :)
You'd better not be intimating that our child will be anything like Julian Assange. More influental, but less criminal perhaps.
Kylie.
'Anything like' is rather a broad brush, but I am appropriately told! Did not want to draw such a close parallel, just preferred to congratulate you here rather than in Facebook, where I don't properly exist.
I don't expect any of your children will be found to have broken any Australian laws as they write their names in letters of fire across the 21st century... the Parigian Age, as it doubtless be known to grateful future generations.
As grateful as future generations may or may not be with regard to the Parigian Age, both Marco and I would just be grateful for a little sleep right now. The latest Parigi may just be writing her name in letters of fire across the 21st century by night. It will probably stand out more in the darkness.
Best of luck getting the bub to sleep... my experience is limited but I feel tired just thinking about it. Amanda was born on December 12th and slept through the night after New Year - maybe you will get lucky, touch wood.
