This cartoon is baggist. Some of my best friends are chaff bags, and they would never behave like that.
In fact a lovely bag full of lucerne chaff is sitting on my back veranda - not a metaphor - as we speak.

Cartoon excellence, Firsty. My only gripe is that you’ve used a couple of his more flattering photos.
AJ generously re-donated the chaff bag jacket for which he made top bid at the auction. One guesses he has no use for a garment which isn’t bespoke.
The moral of the story: beware of rollicking Young Libs.

“prolix” is good - the kind of word AJ would have learned at the private grammar school to which those Struggletown chaffbags (of cash?) sent the impressionable young Alan, before he toddled off to Oxford. Such a tough life …

It is justifiable to wonder just how proud his parents would have seem of him?
Did they die of shock when he was voted university home coming queen?
How did they handle the boy in the english toilet bobby thing? And as far as telling lies are concerned; has he ever told them the truth? He cant handle it himself.

Perhaps Jones made the comment about the Pm’s father as he, (Jones) has never been a father and so could have no understanding of parental love.
The other thing is everybody is accepting Jones explanation regarding Chaff bags being part of the vernacular for disposing of things that have gone past their used by date.
This was his defence for explaining that his chaff bag line was not an incitement to drown the PM.
Well, as somebody who has spent most of his life in the bush (I even sewed wheat bags before bulk handling) I would like to refute it. Nobody would waste a chaff bag & that sort of reference was only ever used for disposing of unwanted kittens etc by those too cowardly to dispose of them humanely.

Alan Jones, stop inciting hatred against our country, against our women and against our elected leaders. Free speech is a responsibility - a precious legacy and one you arrogantly abuse to inflame hate, feed ignorance, uphold hypocrisy and divide our nation. Your attacks are savaging our country. Stand down.

Why are the chaff bags out in the woods? Were they banished from Bagdom for unspeakable acts like not paying their taxes? I see no sugar bags, recyclable shopping bags, white paper dusted with traces of sugar from a strawberry doughnut bags or even a lone vacuum cleaner bag.

Onya Pav. We used the term, “Geez there are only 3 stitches in a chaff bag”: as a derogative expression in Casualty, (Accident& Emergency), to describe a poor suturing job on a facial wound or to express surprise if someone got more than 3 stitches in a wound. It was also used to refer to country girls with plenty of pubic hair.

Yes but you are carring on as if Jones words are worse than Gillards’ actions.
Lest we forget that the day her father died she was proudly breaking the law, the constitution and human and legal rights of refugees during a photo shoot with PNG’s foreign minister while at APEC.
Human trading and trafficking is surely more serious than Jones prattling?
Sending people by force back to Sri Lanka knowing they face jail and torture is more serious, staying in Afghanistan is more serious, punishing single parents and aborigines is more important than the ramblings of an old queen.

There’s only one way to stop the odious little twät, the parrot, and that is to stop all the people who listen to him. Advertisers follow people. They don’t initiate markets; they play to them.
Stop all the conservative voting old dears from tuning in and Jones would be completely stüffed. It’s that simple and that difficult to do.

Dear Mr. On The Moon,
We find your “comic”, if you can call such drivel that, highly offensive. Referring to a “Passing herd of chaff bags” is simply untrue. Chaff Bags do not “herd”, nor do they “pass”.
We are also a highly respectful society that value truth and honesty in all aspects of our lives. This makes your panel about us teaching poor habits to Alan Jones incredibly hurtful and makes us cry tears.
And we find it incredibly highly offensive that you would refer to us as cannibals in your “bag eat bag” remark. Let me assure you, that unlike you disgusting ape-ish humans who have indeed eaten each other when things got too hard for you because your plane crashed out in the icey wilderness and you were unable to man up to survive, a Chaff Bag would NEVER and HAS never, ever eaten another Chaff Bag.
Even in times of dire need, Chaff Bags stick together. We live by the principle of “All for one and one for all” (it was actually our motto before that filthy dirt collector Mr. Dumas stole it for his book).
We fully expect to see you apologise, with the word sorry, in your cartoon tomorrow or we will take action, yes, action will be taken, to have you taken off air.
Sincerely,
On Behalf of Chaff Bags Everywhere
