Story by Emmjay

Taking a leaf from the controversial WA government playbook, the NSW Department of Consumptive Affairs is about to initiate another shark culling operation.  Unlike WA, the NSW shark cull has widespread multiparty support.

The NSW scheme, like WA aims at lowering the risk of serious lacerations to the state’s punters by instigating a long line baited hook approach.  But unlike WA, no marine creatures will be harmed in the cull, the spokesperson alleged.

The Pig’s Arms government reporter, Tua Manne, spoke briefly (he was wearing briefs) with the Departmental spokesperson who outlined the approach.

Apparently the prey who are normally regarded as the predators are energy mining magnates and the bait will be auctioned CSG fracking permits. The Department anticipates that a flurry of ex-Labor apparatchiks, developers, lobbyists, union officials and massively overweight owners of race horses and professional sporting teams, will be attracted to the bait.

In a clever piece of COAG collaboration, the baits will be trawled from the sterns of inflatable unsinkable rescue craft heading across apparently dangerous marine shark infested waters in the Timor Sea.  The Department is intending to cast off the lines in the general vicinity of the Indo-international maritime border – and who can tell what might happen after that.

Conservationists are concerned that undiscerning marine sharks could unwittingly sample the school of reptiles and white shoe sharks and risk toxic scum poisoning. And not surprisingly, schools of accountant and legal suckerfish are gathering in keen anticipation of a feeding frenzy.

carbon tax, Clive Palmer, High Court, litigation

Sue me baby, sue me.... photo taken through the wrong end of the Parkes telescope with extra wide angle .

Australia has many blessing; many things for which we should be grateful.

The biggest one is Clive of Australia.  Without Clive, there would be no balance in our lives.

For Clive, you see, sues on our behalf the loonies and destroyers of his our vision for a great society.  We left it to Clive to sue the soccer people for some reason.  Possibly the reason was Frank Lowey, although details are sketchy.

But the big one, the elephant in the outback – and for this we need to be deeply thankful – is that he’s taking on the government.  This time it’s by taking the government to the High Court and challenging the carbon tax as being unconstitutional.  The fact that an elected government should raise a tax on pollution is unconscionable – as any fair minded mining magnate would see in an instant. (Can I have another big Mac please ? )

Rumour has it that Clive’s top shelf lawyers are also about to open another litigation front for Clive – on gravity.  Clive is pretty sure that gravity is not only unconstitutional, but also unscientifical.  Clive is alleged to have said  “if CSIRO thinks gravity works, it’s bollocks.  What I dig up, stays up !”

Lawyers for Clive – or more accurately Clive’s body – are reportedly suing the NH&MRC for funding research into obesity saying that the NH&MRC should get its “tinny little ferret arse in order before attacking the more substantial pillows of our community”.

In other breaking news, Porsche Australia, The LearJet Corporation and Beneteau boats reported record sales to members of the legal fraternity.  The president of the Law Society, Ivan Ormous-House, said that India had it’s Clive, now it’s Australia’s turn – or more particularly Australian lawyers’ turn, pass me the Beluga and don’t spare the Kurg.  Clive’s lawyers hate to see this injustice (that is, Gina’s lawyers making shirtloads with intra- familial litigation) and now it’s time to share the lard love.

Sauces near to Mr Palmoil were too busy with the second course to comment….mrrphmmmph ah that feels better.

Clive Palmer, puppet master, Tony Abbott

"He'll never get to be a real boy at this rate!"

Digital mischief by Warrigal Mirriyuula

Here we see the real intellectual weight behind Abbott’s leadership. His puppet master Clive “Jabba The Putz” Palmer, generous Liberal donor and registered owner of The Liberal Party Inc., pulling the strings while the evil Pell drops in to offer some more morally compromised advice.
