I make no apologies for my admiration of Irwin, the West’s first line of defence against lizards. In my opinion he was the greatest Australian since Eddie Izzard, and Eddie Izzard isn’t even Australian.
Who have they got now? Crocodile Greer and a bunch of champion swimmers. It would be a sorry state of affairs if the greatest living Australian were now Rolf Harris, but I’m afraid this may well be the case. Dan Ackroyd is pretty great, but he turns out to be Canadian.

The Greatest Living Australian? What do YOU think? Come on, guys, let’s poll.
