Matt Kean might mean something to some in Oz, but my guess he was more a nobody to the majority, even some in his home state. This just more of the US style of politics where so called celebrities are supposed to socially influence the presumed dumbarse electorate.
Robert Browning comes to mind in this brillaint move by the Govt:
Just for a handful of silver he left us, Just for a riband to stick in his coat ...... ............. He alone breaks from the van and the freemen, He alone sinks to the rear and the slaves.
