You are correct Fritz - I was just putting it out there to see the response.
Just in case that when it was discovered David Atkins was the ceremony director,
Australia would get the blame for the stuff-up. His past record is exemplary and
he must have to rely upon many hundreds of underlings to do their bit correctly
- and that isn't possible to guarantee.
At least he can't be blamed for that leaking ice resurfacing machine at the
speed skating rink. I'm sure if that was in Australia somebody would have used
inherent bushman's ingenuity and replaced the broken bit in 30 minutes.
