The Editorial Board Wishes You a Brave Easter and a Stiff Upper Lip

SMH's Easter editorial urges Sydneysiders to keep spirits up despite cost-of-living pressures, offering the kind of reassurance that costs nothing and changes less.

'Keep calm and carry on' — the official motto of every government that's run out of ideas and every editorial board that's run out of nerve. Telling Sydneysiders to chin up over Easter while a dozen eggs costs what a carton used to is the journalistic equivalent of a fridge magnet on a burning house.
