Sooo boring. Sooo vanilla. I much prefer the espresso affogato!!

Many things in life are costly with no real purpose, apart from the sheer enjoyment of the spectacle. Given Australia's obsession with grand-finals sport, clearly many think the same.

The fireworks are just that Fire! Works! A ripper brilliant display that I for one would not want to be watered down due some obtuse PC rubbish.
Look at military jet displays during airshows.
How tame they now are, since there's nothing to equal the F-111 dump and burn.
The best they have now is a Hercules doing a flare drop. Doesn't come close to making the excitement that the F-111's did.
Replacing fireworks with drone displays, same removing of something visceral.
