Australian Prime Minister laments the disappearance of Ginger Meggs

Sammy J: You're a true politician, but I guess you are the Prime Minister, so that makes sense.

Prime Minister: I'm a true Marrickville-ian also, and part of my stump speech at citizenship ceremonies is to say I've lived all over the world, Camperdown, Newtown and Marrickville, which is a bit like living in, I don't know, Collingwood, Richmond and Fitzroy.

Sammy J: Well, whatever you were doing here Albo, yesterday, I've got to say, you left the town and at the same time, comics disappeared from The Age newspaper, which is the end of an era. Is there any correlation?

Prime Minister: Well, this is just another step in the decline of modern media. Thank goodness we have the ABC.

Sammy J: I thought you meant the question.

Prime Minister: It will upset a lot of people I reckon.

Sammy J: It has on the text line. It's something people grew up with.

Prime Minister: I'm sure that that's the case. I certainly grew up reading Ginger Meggs and Hagar the Horrible. I don't think anything ever happened in that one, but anyway.
