One man says September 14 isn't Clean up Australia Day Ian Kiernan, former chairman of Clean Up Australia Day, seriously thinks Australian are "confused"? He's seriously upset? He seriously expects Alan Jones - and thousands of others - to stop with the joke? ""Alan I have had numerous complaints that you are describing election day the 14th September 2013 as Clean Up Australia Day. Clean Up Australia and Clean Up Australia Day are both registered trademarks of this organisation. By falsely claiming that 14th September is Clean Up Australia Day, you are causing confusion to those who genuinely support our event. Further it is causing damage to our organisation and brand through political affiliation that does not exist. CUA is not government funded, a choice we have made to protect our independence. As well we are a not for profit organisation and are essentially owned by those who support it â¦ As a first step I am asking that you cease your reference to our day and brand for the benefit of your campaign. Ian."" I don't trust anyone who doesn't get satire. Indeed, I once found myself in the dock complaining I didn't know there was a law against satire. Not so sure about that anymore.
