Example
How one answers O'Dowd's
questions depends on one's
political opinions.
I think, however, that O'Dowd
surrendered to the beguiling
influence of poetic licence, and
alliteration's artful aid, when he
said Australia was a "cenotaph
of specics dead elsewhere".
What he probably meant to say
was that in Australia spccics
survived which were cxtinct
elsewhere.
He'would ccrtainiy have
agreed, as a lawyer, that the
Australian Capital Territory was
a prize example of a place where
laws survived which were cxtinct
elsewhere.
