...Republicans went to work. It was during this period that they invented direct mail fundraising, following such dramatic financial insolvency that the national headquarters of the president’s party was actually forced to close for a month.

...Latham is, at bottom, a traditional, pragmatic class warrior with a narrow worldview forged and bolted down in Sydney's western suburbs. He's an incremental man, modern and responsive, with a compelling history, energy and ambition.

These days however, it's simply an excuse for a boisterous get-together by pyromaniacs of every stripe.
