I hope this isn't the start of a new boardshorts trend:
But sadness is just over the horizon. Queensland surf lifesaving clubs allow Nippers to wear boardshorts in the belief that kids do not want to be seen dead in Speedos. Not only have the youth of Australia turned their backs on an icon but to make matters worse, Speedos have been embraced by that ultimate old fogey, the politician.
