Well spotted Firdo; although she was the principal architect of of our entry into the GFC.

She and his little friend, “ankles eyebrows” talked a heap of aspirationals into over committing fatally financially for the cause; but smiley got them to join the “smarmy army” and over breed as well. “One for each of you and one for the country heh heh”.
He was the GFC`s bit*h and he wants to finish us off. He must have a refinery full of 44 gallon drums.

It’s easily explained why Peter was cast as a rock in the grade three play ie: Peter means ‘rock’. The little fella was a natural.

It has also come to my attention that Peter didn’t win Masterchef or Oz Idol. Or Lotto.

I still remember him drawn by Bill Leak with the spiked canine collar and rabid eyes, courtesy J Kennett’s c.1990 celebrated comment that “Costello has all the virtues of a dog except loyalty”. (take note, Mr Howes)
Good smirkism, dog
