Payback is such a bitch.


Budgie on the beach

Izzie could have never imagined while listening to Question Time from the parliament today that it would be the very last one featuring the mad monk at the helm of the sinking ship. There were certain snarks and subtle hints but it took 20/20 hindsight to reveal them.

Within less than 7 hours there was a mutiny and the crazy captain found himself on Death Row about to walk the plank.
"Time doesn't mean anything when you're about to have water lapping at your door"


Once again he touched this serpent's heart with his eloquence and vision.


I've been heartened by the messages of support flooding into Liberal MPs' offices this evening saying most emphatically saying we are not the Labor Party. I want to repeat that, I have most heartened by the messages of support flooding into Liberal MPs' offices saying most emphatically we are not the Labor Party.

This country needs strong and stable government, and that means avoiding - at all costs - Labor's revolving door prime ministership.


If the mad captain had spent a bit more time thinking about the destination he wanted to steer the ship TO instead of constantly obsessing about all those ports he wanted to avoid and spending two years reminding the crew and passengers of just how awful the previous captains were, then he might have nipped the mutiny in the bud.



The advice "Don't think of pink pythons" comes to mind. It was Tony Abbott who unleashed the attack dogs as leader of the opposition and now they have come back to bite their master big time.

Maybe now Australia can return to the 21st century and the adults can get back to running the country. Maybe there'll be co-operation and consultation where there had been combat and captain's calls. Maybe there will be a fair go and hope for most folks. Except the political cartoonists. It is a most dark day indeed for them.

JuLIAR the wicked red witch of the East must be cackling right now.

That cartoon looks very threatening. After Tony was eaten by the Great White Shark Malcolm and all that is left is his budgie smugglers and the budgie, should there be a part two? Or is there some monstrous prehistoric creature lurking in the depths of the Liberal scum pond Plesiosaur Morriscum straight from the Triassic just waiting his chance to snatch back the crown for the dinosaurs of the Liberal Party with a lot of help I assume from the Murdoch minions.

One can only hope that there will be a period of sane government for the next year and Malcolm truly will consult the people not just his fellow pollies and more importantly listen. But he's not making a good start. Because of the narrowness of his victory he will have to soft pedal and I don't see any bright new thoughtful policies, he seems to want to stick with the current policies so as not to upset the dinosaurs of the far right. Bill Shorten must be a bit glum, but then he will have to learn to be a better opposition leader and stop being Mr Me-too and start putting out some decent policies, if he wants to win the next election.
