    Dear Sleve, remembering that it’s amazing that a dog can count at all, I think we can also forgive him the little assumption that these are all discrete sufferers, which, I’m sure RHWombat will validate, may not be a viable assumption. One of these hideous disease sufferers could plausibly have more than one of these hideous diseases.

    So the theoretical minimum number of hideously diseased Australians would – on FD’s measure be 220,000 / about 20 million or about 1%. But these 1%ers could be seriously sick puppies.

    Some might even become coalition parliamentarians. I’d stay well away from them.

    First Dog you make a fundamental error that Real Journos learn in O Week at Communications College University.

    “Presents actual facts”. Oh ho ho my aching sides. “Like a journalist.” Oh stop it I’m hurting my thigh with all the slapping.

    To be a Journalist you need 3 (3) things:

    1. Spirax 112x77mm Top Spiral Bound PP Notepad, 96 Pages

    2. Ability to uncannily wrongly predict the future

    3. Other Journalists you know who you can interview

    Nice work dog.
    You frightened me with that symbolic burning of the boat and the refugees and now their diseases. Maybe we could get Dr Death and the Kerosene nurse to clean up that side of the chamber and see how many exotic diseases that mob have. Kervokian could put the more uglier growths down so they would be out of our misery and the kerosene nurse could give them a thorough

    What we need now is a Wikileaks or Anonomous revelation from his doctor’s records that Morrison has one of those more embarrassing diseases in the back of his throat.

    Hey, FD, this would be funny it it wasn’t so deadly accurate.

    EXIT ARBIB: Doubtless for a cushy job in the American embassy?

    ANYONE: WTF is Pertussis? Sounds like a limerick.

    Actually Venise I want to cut Arbib a little slack on this and give him the benefit of the doubt.

    It might be one of those case where doing the right & the expedient collide
