Australia Day is upon us, which means two things: a day off and another lamb-filled address from Sam Kekovich. For close to a decade the former football star has been encouraging us to remember Australian values and eat lamb on January 26.

This time around Kekovich is blaming the rise of pop culture for a lapse in Australian values. After watching the way the country fawned over the Kardashian sisters and Liz Hurley, I think he might be on to something.

To suggest he can propel “Barbie Girl” to the top of the charts again may be a step too far though, don’t you think?
