What's that smell?


It's something that all Australians notice in the first 10 minutes when they land in Germany. I didn't want to talk about it, but I feel I have to. This is not something that can go unmentioned for any longer. In Germany, in summer, the sewers smell.

And the odour really packs a punch. Think: hungover dog eating egg sandwiches off his lap.

How can a country with high-speed trains that run on time, world-leading robotics and alternative energy technology, the birthplace of Eau de Cologne(!!!!)..... still stink as soon as the temperature climbs above 20 degrees? Especially here in the west. I thought everything here smelled sweeter?

I'm calling for a complete revamp of the nation's sewer system. Any political party who campaigned on this platform would get my vote immediately!

(If I was allowed to vote that is...)
