MP's would love a natter with old workmates. But I think if you're after value for money a night in the Great Hall with the Coalition would have to be the pick. A Logies-like twitter fest (Costello's smirk is botoxed, Emo's still sobbing, Abbott's wearing bike pumps, Phyllis Diller just arrived .. er no, its Helen Coonan). Clinging to a mini-bell (to share the pain of future generations) you'll tuck into carrots and sticks and processed sausages well aware no one in Opposition went on a Paris Hilton shopping spree. The best part is at the end with the chauffered trip home in 20-year-old Mitsubishis and Taragos carrying wheel chairs. It's a slum-dog life in tough times even if you're on the right side of the tracks.
