On the letters page, yesterday. They pick a letter they like, and use a blurb about it as the headline for the whole section...
"One must oppose all aspects of the modern welfare state"
I love this, for at least three reasons. 1) I love the absolutist tone to it, it's so unequivocal. Not some, or even most aspects of the modern welfare state. No! We must oppose all aspects. 2) Clumsy use of 'One', and 3) it plays so nicely to the sterotype of Australian readers. I can say that of couse because I'm one myself, but that's only because the Fairfax papers have become so excruciatingly feeble.
