Bolt v Manne. The Duel in the School.

This was the one everyone's been waiting for.
Forget Howard v Costello.
The whisper around town for a long time was the confrontation on the contentious issue of "the Stolen Generation".
Apparently the event was called a draw.
In reality a draw was not good enough for Manne. He had to beat Bolt on points and ,by failing to do so, has conceded a great deal of ground in the debate.
It seems Manne has conceded that the concept of "the Stolen Generation", is more of a metaphor.
Not good enough as an argument in my book.

I can't wait for the big re-match, hopefully at the town hall.

Then I can use the Headline, "The Brawl in the Hall".
