Australians have a reputation for being macho and brave. So much so, that even our animals are lauded for their heroic feats.
Lulu the kangaroo will leap into the record books when she becomes the first marsupial to receive a bravery award.
She’ll receive the RSPCA’s Australian Animal Valour Award for saving the life of a farmer knocked unconscious.
Leonard Richards, 52, was hit by a falling branch, as he checked for storm damage on his property last September.
Lulu, who was reared by the Richards family, made a huge commotion to alert others, in a scene similar to the 1960s Australian children’s series Skippy.
Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for our opposition leader.
