    I attended the launch, and a good time seemed to be had by all. The Governer General made a surprisingly good speech. The ANU reply cheated by reading out the GG’s biography. There were a couple of people in the room whispering “But you have to be dead to be listed in the ADB”. But no-one seemed to mind.
