    The headline is a little bit fucked up. Harold Holt, Australian PM, went for a swim (against advice) and never returned. The headline messes that up.

    I wa making a joke about the spy base - sorry, “listening outpost “ going for a swim.

    Lots of conspiracy theories about old Harold, my favourite theory is that he faked his own death to avoid being caught having an affair
