I love the one in the toga!

Possible reference to Said Hanrahan” by John O’Brien? If so, even cleverer!

I’m intrigued by the way they use RP English accents and “Land of Hope and Glory” to associate the scaremongerers with Imperialism, possibly also invoking the idea that saying these things is un-Australian.

Beppie, good point. I’d just associated the accents with “that was the accent of the people in power at the time” (either because they were English or because that’s how “cultured Australians” spoke at the relevant times OR more to the point, how we think “cultured Australians” spoke at the time). But yeah. You may have something there.
