How about we quit with variations on that headline, and just admit that I’ve had too much toxic sludge?

No, I can’t do it. Because in this story, the white elephant is a red herring, all right.

A Soap Opera Actor is riding that elephant as a smoke-and-mirrors distraction for his real job. He is a clandestine employee of ASIO, and he has a special role to play at the Perthville Games site.

ASIO have asked him to bring attention to the high-grade uranium, lastly; but firstly, under the cover of darkness, he is to set up a tent nearby.

And so he’s riding a red herring before our very eyes.
