At last, the sequel to "Cat on a Hot Pink Batt"

And the reviews are in:

"Five stars, I laughed, I cried" - Penny Wong

"I couldn't have written a better script myself" - Greg Combet.

Government raises threat levels in response to Peter Garrett debacle

Apparently, the timing of new terrorism measures has nothing whatsoever to do with the insulation scheme being axed. Nothing at all. Look over there - is that flying saucer?

Coincidental or not, the Government has raised threat levels, taking us from "medium" to a higher level of alert:


The Ministerial Danger Rating has also been raised, from Severe to Extreme. We're expecting it to be raised to a Code Red (CAT-ASTROPHIC) shortly.

Which is the scarier prospect?

Either:

(a) "A Great Big New Tax On Everything"

OR

(b) "Barnaby Joyce, the alternative Finance Minister of Australia"?

Tony Abbott supports Barnaby Joyce? Not so much, acshully. This press conference is OVER KTHXBAI.

Turner resident Kate Jarvis ambushed Abbott this morning, distracting him from the serious business of accosting the public while they try to do their shopping, and closing down his press conference when asked if he supports Barnaby Joyce.


She accused him of a populist approach, which clearly is what underlies his comments earlier this year about women's virginity being the best gift they could possibly give a man.*

*My extensive survey** revealed all men surveyed would rather have a Lamborghini than a woman's virginity.

**of the only man within earshot.

On the first Parliamentary sitting day of the year, in honour of Tony Abbott's new climate change policy, which is to keep calling the Government's policy a great big new tax, (GBNT for short), I bring you this image from beaglepro.com:

Merry Christmas

From all of us at lolpolz, particularly Casper the Christmas Elf (pictured above). We'll be back in 2010 all geared up for ELECTIONPALOOZA 2010.

SA Liberal leader Isobel Redmond secretly tasered

You couldn't make this shit up. Among the classic comments from the article:

Mr Hateley said he was willing to Taser Premier Mike Rann or any other Government minister on their request.
"I'm more than happy to talk to them, talk them through the medical side of it and lead them through the experience," he said.
"I get a pleasure out of Tasering anyone..."




And Ms Redmond is refusing to comment but rated the pain as "nine-and-a-half out of 10". It's a zen thing? It was a comment, but not a comment?


Also, can we discuss the fact that THEY ARE BOTH NUTS?
