Downer has a lovely, anglo-elitist, sniffy background. His biography reveals the plans that Menzies and Downer's father had for the young lad: send him to private school, enter him in the public service (so that Menzies and his minion's would look after him) etc, etc. He was silver-spoon-fed even while in the womb. Spoon still stuck up his ass.
