The Larry, Mo and Curly Joe of Australian Politics
Digital Surgery by Warrigal
As the deadline for the climate change debate looms large, conservative politicians are, by their deliberations, proving that finding a sensible response to climate change is definitely more difficult than brain surgery. Unfortunately, instead of recruiting rocket scientists, they unwittingly rolled up their sleeves and enlisted the assistance of the notorious space cadet Steve (Curly Joe) Fielding.
After a prolongued search for an idea, the best that the Three Stooges of Australian politics could come up with was “Nyuk, Nyuk, Nyuk”, prompting Penny Wong, the Minister for a Double Dissolution to suggest that at a time when the environment was calling for a massive transfusion, all the conservatives could come up with was type E negative .
In late breaking news this morning, Larry was quoted by the ABC as saying “”If after about four years you continually deal with unnamed sources in the paper and those unnamed sources say that the source of all their problems in life is you, then you say if you want to make yourself public and you are at the appropriate level, I’ll leave,” he said.
The lack of an anaesthetist would leave the coalition in an extremely painful condition, except that there is no evidence that Curly is capable of feeling pain and on the contrary it appears that he is routinely completely insensate in the Senate.
Sources close to Mo Heffernan were also struggling to find a pulse.
asty, certain things you just can’t sell; giving is always good…
Julian, and A A Milne understands what goes on in childrens mind, perfectly…
…naughty post, it jumped the queue…
I’m encouraged that our best and brightest are at the helm of ‘Good Ship Australia’, steering her through the dangerous straits of Climate Change!
Showing my ignorance here, I’ll claim recognition of the conservative Joyce and the Labour Fielding, but is that Wong with the wig?
I thought that she was a lady boy.
I goggled Mo Heferlump, but got someone in Oklahoma.
Help, help, a Herrible Hoffalump!
Meanwhile..1n 2045, at an Australian parliamentary meeting, deep in the bowels of cannedberra, there was a sudden realisation that all was not well since the warming had started.
“I saw one once,” said Piglet. “At least, I think I did,” he said. “Only perhaps it wasn’t.”
“So did I,” said Pooh, wondering what a Heffalump was like.
“You don’t often see them,” said Christopher Robin carelessly.
“Not now,” said Piglet.
“Not at this time of the year,” said Pooh.
…so you like Winnie the Pooh too, Julian?
Kids don’t want my Pooh books, so I’m keeping them for myself!
I suspect a complete set of Winnie the Pooh books in good condition (and without library stickers!) is probably a very good invenstment, Helvi… your kids may wish they’d accepted them before too long!
I like A A Milne’s mind.
