Like finding money in the street, or having it wash up on an isolated beach in Western Australia.

‘Shadow Spokeswhistle’ – nice one, Firsty.

Scott Morrison could slash costs further by having no catering whatsoever – possibly that’s Plan B.

I’m surprised they haven’t factored in lower calorie meals to offset the obesity crisis and reduce colon cancer by increasing fibre in the diet (eat the boats!!).

I was going to try and come up with a witty bon mot in response to this, but it’s just too depressing. They should’ve gone one better, and asked my mate Frank. He does catering for children’s birthday parties, and would have supplied a jumping castle and magic act for no extra charge. I’m sure the Opposition could easily supply a clown.
