Happy #NationalHedgehogDay 🥺
This little Egyptian faience model of a hedgehog is from a tomb at Abydos, and was made around 1,500–1,300 BCE.
Hedgehogs had a favourable reputation in ancient Egypt, and were often seen as a symbol of rebirth and renewal of life.

Agreed, but personally I find the most infurating thing about Australian political coverage (at least MSM anway) is that virtually anything which happens is framed in terms of the electoral horse race. It really is just an extension of AFL reporting, and it's facile and insulting to the audience.
