I've invented a few things in my time but, alas, the industrial world has totally ignored me.

Voice-actuated, remote controlled, wheeled suitcases that could be trained to heel as you walk to your destination.

Windscreen wipers for spectacles.

A humane mousetrap that doesn't kill the mice but traps them between two clapping metal hands. (It's called a claptrap.)

A periscope for viewing around SVUs as you drive along.

And a battery operated, heated bra to keep girls' girls warm in the winter.

Back in the 1980s the Bulgarian wrapper, Christo, came to Australia and wrapped Little Bay in plastic and called it art. It was much publicised as "art". About the same time the National Gallery paid $6 million for Jackson Pillock's (yeah, yeah, I know how to spell it) "Blue Poles".

One night when I was having a beer I realised that if I wanted to be successful I needed to invent a new art form, so I evented Cheryllian Schematics.

I named it after Cheryl who was the barmaid that night, and the "schematics" were the pictures you drew with the bottom of your glass in the puddle of beer on the bar. (Cheryl wasn't a very enthusiastic barmaid.)

All I had to do was sprinkle it with coloured cement and I could have sold it to the National for a fortune. The trouble was, all those publicans are Philistines. I never met one yet who'd let me near his bar with a chain saw.

Mrs Didge was sympathetic but when I wanted to do the same thing with our kitchen table she threatened to use the chain saw on me.

Rather comically, I told a friend about it a couple of years ago. She's an artist and asked if I would mind if she developed the idea herself. Fair dinkum!

Well there is an invention and there is a innovation I would make(though I suppose it could be called an invention). I would first innovate on Hydrogen fusion by inventing a method to make it safe for small scale use, such as in cars, homes, etc. I would then put that into a hoverboard. Hydrogen fusion is has the capability of being ten times more efficient then gasoline fuel. It also has the small benefit of covering 75% percent of the earth’s surface and producing only dihydrogen molecules which are already present in the atmosphere. The only problem is that the temperature required to initiate fusion is UPWARDs of 15,000,000 degrees Kelvin at an absolute minimum. Other methods require 100,000,000 K. I’d also make hoverboards using the energy source I had just invented. Cause ya know, hoverboards, they’re cool.
