Has anyone else ever noticed a certain similarity between many of Australia's Prime Ministers? Particularly facial features... possibly in the region above their eyes...
What is it with Australian Prime Ministers and having outrageously bizarre eyebrows!
I firstly bring your attention to Sir Robert Menzies, a Prime Minister of the 1960s. The man's eyebrows nearly obscured the rest of his face!
Even in a portrait, which is usually a little more flattering than real life, the brows look ready to declare alleigance to Britain all by themselves.
Exhibit B appears in the form of Prime Minister Gough Whitlam, a man pitifully thrust from his position by the then Governor-General, only to have his Prime Ministership usurped by a man who remained in office for mere weeks. Australia maybe should review its perception of itself as a stable democracy and moreover Gough probably should have reviewed his eyebrow grooming techniques: the scary things were like two black magpies perched beneath a snowy mop of hair.
Look at him... so happy, even though there are serious shade issues happening right above his eyes.
My final example of Aussie PMs with weird brows, though there are many more, is the current Prime Minister (and not for much longer, if I have it my way, but that's another discussion altogether), John Howard.
His eyebrows have been the subject of many point-and-snickers over the years. It is a perplexing denial of the laws of physics the way they seem to grow perpendicular to the curve of his skull. Some would say this feat is admirable, and that the control over gravity that his eyebrows display is symbolic of the control he could wield over his country. I would say freakish, and surely there's enough tax coming in to employ a Personal Grooming Assistant down at Kiribilee House.
I guess one conclusion I can draw from this is that I can never pursue my dreams of ruling the country... my eyebrows are just too proportional to the rest of my face. I will therefore skip ruling Australia and move straight on to ruling the entire world.
