I do think it's cruel how they've doctored all the photos of Casey Bennetto to make him appear overweight. There should be a law against using Photoshop in such an abusive manner.

Simply brilliant. Moved to tears. Might take on the QANTAS choir?

This might be the first time I've regretted not being at a book awards ceremony.
