I think the unequal sized eyes on the scone are cruel, but fair, and aid in the identfication of the intended subject of satire.
As for the depiction of Peter Reith; I have loved you from the moment you suggested throwing yourself into the Akerman enclosure at the zoo as a form of self-harm, but now, even more so.

Reith as Bert is genius. I’d almost wish for him to make a comeback to federal politics just so I could see more of that.

Firsty, I am happy to clear-up any vagaries uttered yesterday by Cousin Jethro (aka Barnaby).
Listen up, it’s as plain as the wet nose on your muzzle! Cousin Jethro is extremely concerned that one (or more, perhaps all!) of his daughters may be coerced into a lifestyle which includes gluten-free wedding cake. Frankly, having tried gluten-free bread, I share his distress. To call it the greatest evil confronting the human race is hardly over-stating the matter. Years ago a pal tried a gluten-free croissant and, frankly, hasn’t been the same since.
Peter Reith: the Patron Saint of Telecards/mobile phones.
So much goodness here FD, it’s almost too rich to stomach.
I mean….Gluten free wedding cakes??? Sacrilege!!
But as for Reith as Bert….(Gasp)
How long can it be before we see BobKat as Ernie? 😎

ZOMG! Are we Doggonauts complicit in committing offences under the Satire Act? Gaol?? Are there fines? Do we need to march on Canberra, the capital of this once great nation for a return to democracy?
