The Lord Mayor of Hobart has criticised the proposed MONA plan to build a cultural precinct that acknowledges Tasmania's Aboriginal history and colonial conflict because, she reasoned, ‘she didn’t kill the Aborigines’.
This seems very problematic for the city of Hobart if a criteria for action is one that the Lord Mayor has to have personally took part in the original event.

3. She didn’t fight in World War I
There go all the ANZAC Day marches and War Memorials for the city of Hobart.
4. She didn’t fight in the suffragette movement
At least the women in Tasmania won’t have to vote for her next run, what with their rights removed and all.

Someone call Dr Seuss, there’s a new Grinch who stole Christmas

7. She also wasn't an aquatic competitor in 1838
There goes your public holiday Hobart
8. She didn’t think before saying ‘I didn’t kill the Aborigines’
If we are lucky this might mean that she doesn’t give any media quotes in future...
