Mr Speaker, what is the definition of 'nemesis'? According to Oxford publishing, either it is 'the inescapable agent of someone's or something's downfall', as in, 'Injury, consistently his nemesis, struck him down during the match'—the story of my sporting career, Mr Speaker—or it is 'a longstanding rival, an arch enemy', as in, 'Will Harry Potter finally defeated his nemesis, Voldemort?' Will he? If you want to find out, tune in to the ABC at 8 pm tonight.
