And now I understand it! Thanks both, what you're saying makes sense. I hadn't seen the nature of the accusations reported.

Media reporting "82 year old australian celeb arrested, The Agee/AP not naming names but its p obvious who it is (and another website is naming him). I am a little shocked at this one tbh

interesting to note that seven was running news breaks with a VERY OBVIOUS CUT right when the newsreader said 'an australian entertainer'

yeah i thought i'd exercise caution and not name names because altho some offbeat media are, mainstream are queerly not, which speaks to some kind of slander caution Im guessing?

I do remember that when a roadshow from Australian Customs visited my primary school back when I was a young lad, they gave away comics aimed at us young children that may or may not have featured the entertainer who has been arrested explaining that undeclared fruit could cause havoc on the natural environment.
It's a damn shame that I didn't keep that comic because it would be the perfect time to cash in on eBay.

So a couple of years a um close relation and her husband, who honestly sometimes have a lot more money than sense or good taste, bought this huge Rolf Harris painting for their living room. They chose it for a variety of reasons I think - honestly wouldn't be surprised if he was the most famous living painter that they could think of - but other than that it matched the sofa, would be an investment for the future (they specifically said this), and also it would be a good talking point when visitors came round. Well they have one of those wishes now I suppose. And they still have the same sofa, so they're ahead of the game still right?

I guess in all of art history there are painters who have been accused of worse
― dschinghis kraan (NickB), Friday, 19 April 2013 09:45 (eleven years ago) link
like hitler for example
I know you must mean a painting he did, but the idea of a portrait of rolf looking down upon your relative's living room is cracking me up

sad about this to be honest. always been a fan of rolf. hopefulyl the allegatiosn aren't true.
