Caroline’s poetry a little queer. By god she’s done it again! The Australian’s Caroline “the joker” Overington was yesterday’s Media Briefs star with her questionable tweets on the Garrett insulation debacle (“Give me a roof with no live wiring … Seems to me too many dying”).
In an online opinion piece today she composes a love song to Opposition climate change spokesman Greg Hunt.
Here is a taste:
I’ve lost my heart to Greg Hunt
You know him, he’s the Liberals’ runt
I mean that in the nicest way
He’s the little one (no, not him; he’s gay).
It’s a strong bet Overington won’t be getting any Christmas cards from the pollie in question.
Then came this tweet late this morning : @overingtonc: And with that, this Tweeter takes a break, to wear the book writing hat for a while. Thanks all X

Newspaper shares rise despite ad slump. Washington Post Co.’s shares have soared after the company announced that its fourth-quarter profit more than quadrupled, largely because of a big reduction in accounting charges. Los Angeles Times
Overington’s most hilarious line was before the poetry:
“Here at The Australian we have a strict rule: we are not permitted to write about one side of politics without giving exactly the same consideration to the other.”
