The ugly duckling election eh?
Gawd, let’s hope it turns into a ranga swan and stops leaking bile into my beer before the polls close.
It’s bloody hard to get enthused, when Grog writes much better journalism than the (so-called) professionals.

A complex issue well teased out in six frames. I want another one tomorrow. And the day after.
I think the problem is we are in a News Boom, and whenever there is too much demand you get shonky operators and cowboys having a shot, and even the reputable ones are so stretched that they have no time for checking standards are kept.
You, First Dog, are the only tropical paradise island in a sea of oil-slicked, plastic strewn, acidified murk.
PS. You forgot the headline ticker at the bottom of Sky and ABC24 repeating every 2 minutes “Slogans killing campaign”.

That duck couldn’t be a Government Staffer, it would need to be a goose.
Tonight I’ll be the Dogonaut Mole in the audience for Q&A which will be televised to you live from Brisbane’s Powerhouse. Can’t wait to get a close look at Jethro Joyce, hopefully he’s working on a few one-liners this very minute. And the thrill of being in the same room as Peter Dutton is impossible to put into words.
