other swimmers who joined the Meme Machine later. Nineteen eighty
our prime Minister was Malcolm Fraser. Sir Charles Court was
WA premier at the time. His son Richard was thirty
three and was only thirteen years away from claiming the
job himself. It's quite so I didn't keep it all
in the family. Our population in Australia was fourteen point
seven million in nineteen eighty, yeah, so I will be

was having a bad day, a bad set, a bad game,
or a bad point.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
It cannot be serious.

has since admitted, look, we've bit off more than we
could chew to be honest. They finished the recording of

the album at four am on the first day of
the next world tour, so no rest of no rest
for a hot band. You've got to get back on
the road. And despite the rush, there were some incredible
songs that hit singles. Don't Stand So Close to Me,
the Do Do Dooda Da Da was a ripper, the

in a coal.
