Tony Abbott Wakes With Nagging Feeling He Gave A British Monarch A Knighthood Yesterday

Story by the Shovel
Prime Minister Tony Abbott woke up this morning with a thumping headache and a vague recollection of awarding a racist Greek Prince Australia’s highest honour.
Frantically texting friends to see if he really had made a total tit of himself, Mr Abbott was by late morning starting to piece together just what happened on Australia Day.
A Liberal party confidant, who did not wish to be named, said he broke the truth gently to Mr Abbott.
“I told him, ‘yes you may have given Prince Philip a knighthood on the spur of the moment. But don’t worry about it too much. Most people probably didn’t notice or have forgotten about it already anyway. No-one’s really talking about it today’”.
Another insider said the last he saw of Mr Abbott yesterday, the Prime Minister was riding around on a make-believe horse, wearing nothing but a paper crown and shouting ‘close the drawbridge and man the cannons!’
Those close to Mr Abbott say he has a reputation for hitting it pretty hard. In 2013 he ran a 4-week election campaign bender and later couldn’t remember anything he said.
Lord ‘n’ Lady Oooster of Bowral, or Balmain.

But he can’t take it back. Or could Phil possibly regretfully decline it?
