You left out the phone call to the press to be on hand. It was the first thing I thought of on the weekend while on stand-by for a CFA shift. Then the bloody fire went out!

Woo hoo, you’ve been sorely missed, Mr Dog, welcome back.
I’m looking at the Brisbane River from my apartment – the water level is lower than predicted so we’ve dodged a bullet. Unlike the poor souls in more watery locations.
Convince me that the sight of either the PM or Mr Rabbott would bring succour to anyone.

Did someone veto ‘cunning’?

I still cant believe the walking armpit actually said “there should be no finger wagging”, when the subject was sticking a finger up someone’s clacker. I just have this vision………… oh forget it.
The ABC definitely needs the same type of examination. The examining finger would hit Mr Scott in his RIGHT eye. I cant think of a more appropriate place to tell a joke like that and for the head of the abc to be offended on behalf on small asian female doctors would be commendable but for the fact that every other disgusting comment from the right of politics has not received the same outrage. Balance.

I can’t help but feel that frame 2 is missing a few VIPs. Each of us rejoices in representation at local, state and federal levels, with two each for state and federal bicameral parliaments (except in Qld, something we can actually envy up there). That’s a total of 5 politicians at least who need to be seen to be empathetic, more if its a statewide disaster requiring multiple senators to attend.
All in all the broom cupboard looks like the best option.

Stunts or steadfast stalwarts: you decide Australia!
