Will the last one out of the parliament please remember to turn the pie warmer off at Aussie’s Cafe? The worst thing we can have now is a fire. Although I accept some cynics believe putting the parliament to the cleansing flames might just be our last best shot at good government.
Ten senators have moved along since this parliament commenced, most frogmarched ignominiously from the big red room, told to pack their belongings into two small cardboard boxes, before their parliamentary lanyards were twain in two with a cutlass and escorted to the front door by two burly security guards.
We no longer have a Deputy Prime Minister, or at least we won’t for a month or so. The Senate President, Stephen Parry resigned and shuffled out the door yesterday. And now, the Energy Minister, Josh Frydenberg is under a cloud.
This brings about the delicious prospect of wait staff at the parliament sidling up to the Minister for Resources, Energy and Northern Australia with a plate of party pies.
“Hungry, minister?”
“No thanks. I already am one.”
Boom tish.

If anyone has the time to watch, it’s a hoot.

Very intriguing Mr Baptiste, we learn something new everyday. Cheers
There’s a delicious irony about Peta Credlin talking political judgement: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/opinion/leader-on-life-support-shows-fatal-lack-of-nous/news-story/dca334c0c35dfb427ff624606f62dd99
Of course, none of the LNP MPs in trouble were around during Tony Abbott’s watch.
As much as this current government is a shambles, it was worse under the previous leader.
STARC:- A record 2 Hat Tricks
Look out Pomz!!
Sensational
The main thing is to produce the goods against England and stay fit.
Mitchell Starc on fire! No doubt the Australian medical team will recommend he be rested for the first 4 tests……
Pauline Hanson possible dual British Citizen, Mr Insider.

I want popcorn for this Henry. 😂
She has possibly “outed” herself in 2010 Bella, mmmm Cheers
Looks like Mitchell Starc’s picked up two hat-tricks in the same match against WA at Hurstville to clean up both tail-ends and give NSW a rather big win – http://www.espncricinfo.com/series/8043/game/1118868/New-South-Wales-vs-Western-Australia-5th-match-sheffield-shield. Picked up Jason Behrendorff and Tom Moody’s nephew, David, twice (the latter for king pairs twice – on the second ball of the hat-trick both times as well).
No, a Grace that makes Winnie Mandela and Imelda Marcos combined look like Edith Cavell.

Did my dough on the Cup as well. It’s too bad a placing only covers 2nd and 3rd and not double figures.
she assauted a photographer here in HK
Went all Naomi Campbell on a model in Seth Efrica as well.
Her playboy son’s girlfriend no less. She was charged with assault but left SA scot free
Now it looks like the First Vice-President, Emmerson ‘the Crocodile’ Mnangagwa’ has been booted out on trumped-up charges likely in her favour, i.e. she’s probably in line to become Vice-President as well as First Lady. Too much of a rival to the ailing Mugabe and his Lady Macbeth and probably too competent.
REKINDLING has won the 2017 Melbourne Cup for trainer Joseph O’Brien, Mr Insider, who claimed victory ahead of father Aidan’s raider Johannes Vermeer. Hope all had a nice flutter today.

Its happened by the way, the American mass slaughter is now ‘normal’ for me. Columbine, shocked, but now, I shrugged left the room and moaned something about never being any tea bags. Didnt even flinch. So everyday. The prayer that this would never become just the way of life for them has not been fulfilled.
Sad to say I’m the same wraith & I think for me it happened after twenty six year olds were murdered in cold blood at Sandy Hook YET not a single gun control law got changed after that.
I now make every effort to not hear details of mass shootings over there anymore because it triggers something dark inside a mother to realise that the powers that be in America decided that open-firing on small children in school with military grade weapons is bearable for them.
For Trump to announce the latest massacre as “not gun violence” says everything about his mental health.
There’s a name for it I think, but can’t recall – it’s a numbing of the senses, desensitisation. Anyone who lived through the Vietnam era will know how the grim footage that was on the news every night became so routine and lost all impact. Same with Middle Eastern car bombings – 10, 20, 30, 100 people blown to bits. Yeah, yeah, what are the lotto numbers?
I don’t see what can change them.
I wasn’t old enough to take in much during the Vietnam war Trivalve but I vaguely recall the impact of seeing headlines like ‘baby killers’ on the front page of a newspaper left on a bus seat & frightened that the strange barrel would one day choose my five year old brother’s birthday.
It might just be that in today’s insane world we’ve become so desensitised to violence of any sort inflicted on anyone or anything, because we’re bombarded with grim footage, on repeat,
by a television news media who get high on their ‘exclusive’ coverage of tragedies.
I kind of understand now why some folks watch those braindead reality shows…..😨
What happened to the Aussie sense of humor?

A LIGHT-HEARTED sign above a Woolworths meat display has sparked online debate after one customer slammed it as “disrespectful”.
“What do you call a cow with no legs? Ground beef,” it reads.
That poor cow.
Vegans have NO sense of humour Dwight. They’re unAustralian.
How’s this one then: A man with no legs has been arrested by the police. What was the charge?
no visible means of support?
Sitting in a Standing Only area?
Cycling without a helmet?
drunken disorderly
Sorry, forgot about this.
Arsin’
First world problems hey?
