senator abetz

a poem

"Nobody has lost their jobs, we just adjusted their welfare status"

all abetz are off

those jobs don't exist anymore, so how can anyone have lost them?

they're always in the last place you look

mislaid off

eric abuttez

if Tone could find the plane, he could find those jobs

I always told people cricket was a scary game, and NOW I AM VINDICATED IN MY FEAR OF THE SHINY RED GLOBE.

poor phil

even more galling is that shaun 'nice technique, shame about the decade of first-class failures' marsh will now waltz into the side in his place

this would appear to be your Lady Di moment, and quite right too

what is a "Lady Di moment"

Kinda fits that it'd take two days for a cricket player to die.

massive lols @ the b4sics rock n roll party getting the absolute lowest primary vote percentage at the vic election

VOTE NONE GOITER

tbf they were only standing in one seat but still

Was Wally Goiter involved or just Kingsmill's nemesis?

even tex got 3%, after he announced himself satisfied with labor's palais commitment and said "don't vote for me"!

goiter was involved, yes

looks like he kept even more to the back in the party than on stage

Defying expectations, the BRRP kept their election night celebrations relatively low key.

“We hung out and had a few beers and went to a gig where [The Basics members] Tim [Heath] and Kris [Schroeder] played a few songs while I kept a keen eye on the VEC website updating (yelling out) every time we got another vote in,” Mr McCarney said.

“It was great fun and has inspired us all to continue the fight and hopefully inspired a few others, and shown that politics doesn't have to be the reserve of the privileged,” he said.

“We'll keep rocken & rollen!”

rocken & poll-en

mocken and lollen

Heh we were at a friends place on satdee for birthday drinks, and husband of household ended up in the doghouse late in the evening for constantly going inside and watching the election results on TV instead of being social. And yelling at it like it was soccer.

so chanting racial epithets and setting off flares?

lol

australian cricket team = english royalty
extraordinary young talent of a batsman = attractive princess who dislikes landmines
slain in mid-pitch = slain by MI5 in mid-paparazzi-escape
63 not out = candle in the wind

think every major australian cricket stadium was packed out with video links to the funeral. tbh if i was in the country i'd have gone to one of them

I think you may have a slightly confused view of how many people care about cricket, and also what decade Diana Spencer got married

is 63 Not Out a Twelfth Man or

I'll be sure to look for the cover story in the next issue of People.

Hey guys, it's the longest night of the year! Be sure to bundle up. Just sit back and watch a few bowl games.

Getting some of Autumn Almanac's frustrations now.

no way morrison won't make a massive balls-up out of something without the cover of national secrecy.

We've doubled the number of women in the senate! I tip my hat to the m'ladys.
