Saviour

France feels like an unlikely saviour, given the previous row there, but Australia does have options, Mr Roggeveen says: "This wouldn't be the end of the world for Australian defence."

This is a fanbase bruised and battered by placing faith in saviours who, in recent years, promised a lot and delivered little.

Some said it displayed a "white saviour complex".

With the money it is generating, I am working to expand the product range and develop better packaging and invest in more marketing, so it's definitely been my saviour.
