JB, thank you so much for the laugh! I haven't had such a broad smile for weeks. Not bitter - but does the J stand for "Just"?
In case you didn't catch this beauty while in Vietnam, the new Nats leader is saying Aussies should make more babies. That alone is a topic for a satirical column.
I just paid for a half a tank of fuel and it cost me the same as a full tank would've about a week ago. At this rate the solar battery I'm getting will have paid for itself in no time.
Maybe the new inland sea could be part of the next hydropower, to drill up the black gold.
If it goes badly JB, I would be more than happy for you start a Qld chapter of WARP (West Australian Revolutionary Party - getting WA up to WARP speed!). The policy list is extensive and involves a lot of digging, a lot talking, a lot of drinking, a tax on lycra, have a publicly available Gunna List (all the things we're gunna do), and finally, implementing a tax on politicians wasting oxygen with shit ideas.
My policy on this is that we dig a kilometre wide trench, deep enough for the sea to flow in, along the border and require a password to enter the state. We would use the excavated material to build up the Darling Range to 3000 m so we can have snow-capped mountains to view as we relax with beer (as well as a lot more rainfall).
That is basically what our country has devolved to, digging bigger holes on behalf of foreign shareholders, and paying no tax on any of it. The COALition survives on it, Labor supports it, and One Nation think it's fabulous. No thought for the unsustainability of it whatsoever, nor the gigantic hole it'll leave in both our country's finances and the actual country itself.
The Fucky Country, where we dig big holes! And drink Victoria Bitter.
PS A large chunk of the centre of the country is near or below sea level, so all we really need to do is keep selling and burning all that coal and gas from the other holes and anthropogenic climate change will take care of the rest!
So that nationals and the liberals chose the most one nation looking candidates for their heads of party. I'm sure that will work out for them at the next election.
You know JB I think you have got the best take on the Nationals leadership. The funny thing is that you got Matt Canavan in one. From what I have read he is actually from Suburban Brisbane and an economist not a farmer or an anything with the rural industries. Which pretty much goes to show that if Matt Sooty Canavan could get the job leading the Nationals then you should have been a contender.
Mind you would you want to be? The polls show that there will be a lot of ex-Nationals MPs looking for a new job following the next federal election. That and maybe a couple of Liberal MPS and possibly 1 (or2 at the most ALP members). Maybe the Nationals might be lucky enough to get a late swing back to them. Apparently the Reform UK party might have reached its peak popularity and may be declining, so it is possible that One Nation may do the same. Then again maybe not.
Sir, this column promised satire of the highest order, and you’re just serving up a factual news report.
JB looking like the kid who's got into Dad's wardrobe in that photo. Love the hat!
Dig a bloody great trench from the Gulf to Lake Eyre and watch those waterfront real estate dollars come rolling in!

Come on - you can’t publish a photo like that without giving us some context!
Nice hat, pardner.

WA voed to secede about 100 years ago... I'm still waiting for them to implement the referendum. We've waited long enough!

Kudos! Detected overtones of Katter with a piquant Palmer vibe. 🤣 One more 50c beer for you, good sir.
If those 40,000m2 hats are mandated, that could simultaneously put a dent in the pesky rabbit 🐇 population!
Best Nat policy in years…
$25??? Bargain...

Hmmmm, are you related to EB by chance? Actually I haven't seen any for a while. Do they still make it?

“You know Bobby, this hat isn’t the only big thing I’m sporting.”
“So that’s why they call you the ‘Canavan of Love’. Shall we let a thousand flowers bloom?”
(They walk off hand in hand.)
