Very many happenings I witness lately seem the end of an era.  For good or bad.  .

The placard  Farewell Bob Sob is half hidden while the crowd were livened up by a fun Men at Work finale. 
The tone of the memorial, the quality, humour and intelligence was gratifying and good for the community.
Urban myths aside, leaders are no longer like Hawke, all the facets around good workplaces, the various equality wars, social justice and progressive policies are not so obvious anymore and the Labor party seems not held dear by those communities who stood to benefit in the past .

A little excerpt on climate change was surprising and was a platform for a capable descendent who has taken up this new yet impossible challenge.
