Spot on as ever…
I sincerely hope that First Dog is not getting too weighed down with the material he and his team of wonderful marsupials have to ferret through to make sense (hahaha)of the mendacity of our present guvvermint.
Perhaps Kenny the Optimistic Kangaroo could help?

Firsty, I am shocked to learn the PM told a porkie as he has an unblemished record on that score. Just ask him. What a black day it is, Australia.
Then again, did he commit these accusations about the bright cans etc to paper? Because if it’s not in writing we aren’t supposed to take any notice of him – according to him (source: 7.30 Report 17/5/2010). Then again, he didn’t write that down either…

Speaking truth in power is not something Toady is good at, is it David Hand? On the other hand (the left one, David) Mistress Peta seems to be slipping in disciplining the back bench (and the country cousins), presumably because she’s got to concentrate so hard on extricating Bucket Boy’s peripatetic nuts from the blender again.
I also note that The Bad Costello has been given the Future Fund to play with, presumably to placate him (and the rest of the Melbourne Club) ’cause even the Entitlement Party couldn’t stomach giving either him or Lord Downer of Nicosia the Consul General’s job in New York that they nicked from Steve Bracks. Things are looking delightfully grimer for the Menzies House menagerie.

The country will be in a real jam if we don’t preserve the jobs so the fruits of their labours are spread. I can’t believe Tony has such a tin ear to risk canning this company.

Sterling work, emc.
The sheer brazenness of this PM is astounding – we need the blackening roller to block the glare.
