It is escorted by a battle cruiser called HMAS Kevin Rudd. There's another called HMAS Peter Garret. That's odd, it too is being escorted by the HMAS Kevin Rudd. All the ships bear the names of Cabinet Ministers in the Kevin Rudd Governmentand for some strange reason all the escort ships are marked with the name Kevin Rudd. Within hours, days? Weeks? Years? The entire fleet is towing this monstrous net-filled with twenty-one million minnows-and they are seen to turn line abreast and to head down south to the Antartic. Waiting to meet them is a remarkably monstrous Angler fish. It is the size of three Sydney Harbours. Patiently it waits. On closer inspection the head of the fish, well illuminated by the Angler fish's light has a pronounced undershot jaw together with an unusually white array of teeth. He is the last member of a legendary family of fish called Tiberius Malcolmus Maximus Turnbullai, affectionately known as TIMID. Once the terror of the bourse this kind hearted fish is now reduced to swallowing up all disenchanted members of any political party who've been bored to death-and fishdom-by the current Government. This once fearsome fish spends his time meditating and asking himself if an old and hated enemy called Honerabulis Maximus Pietro Costellai, could have been the threat to his kingdom the Honerabulis Tiberius Malcomus Maximus always thought he was. Maximus Turnbullai yawns and inadvertently swallows twenty one million minnows. The so far, unanswered question is this. Was Tiberius Maximus Turnbullai wrong about the threat of Higginsartus Gloriana Honerabulis Maximus Pietro Costellai; or not?
