    Indeed, though I’d say the referencing of reality in the opposition’s questions is about on par with the government’s referencing of the question in their answers.

    Sorry, but it’s time to face facts. First Dog is killing Fairfax and The Daily Rupert is next. It’s simple. Nothing much is going on. Newspapers are therefore redundant, but FD knows how to make a souffle out of nothing and make it rise and rise and rise.

    So we’re looking to you, FD – to let us know when the Daily Rupture and the Weekend Vag1na hit the canvas – coz nobody would read either of those rags*

    Its frame 4 for mine.

    We may have lost Fairfax FD, but we still have you to tell it like it is.

    “Is he tro lling!? Is he mad?!”

    Strewth Firsty, it’s simply too close to call.

    I’ve noticed it’s harder to get a car park in South Brisbane since the carbon tax was announced. What next…

    Very very sad Firdo.
    Vote 50 -50 at the last election when the press was 70/30 for the blue team.
    The press will now be 100 for the blue team and the vote will be 70/30 for the blue team.
    If we get the government we deserve, then what have we done wrong?
    Look at NSW and see the future; sold out by the apes in the shooters party.

    Look at Soup Newman in Queensland pushing the panic button and wailing the end is nigh. Firsty is as true as truth. What a dog.

    DRMICK, I dunno why you think there’s a problem with the shooters getting into the national parks. Who knows how many of them will shoot each other ? I mean, it’s an ill wind that blows nobody any good, DR. And foxes probably get tired of eating marsupials, so it’s a win-win situation.

    Now all we need is to lure opposition senators whose name starts with B in there and Bob (who was always our uncle) will once again uncle-up.

    good thought, MJ.
    Get all the shooters to wear the old Gary Larsen “bummer of a birthmark, Hal”
    t-shirts – then restrict them to Belanglo State Forest just to be sure …

    Drovers Cat, I can sense a similarly misspent youth / middle age (smilie face).

    My other favourite Larson is a toss up between the dog in the car saying to his pedestrian friend that he was “going to the vets to get tutored” or the two bulls with the plastic blow-up cow where one says to the other as he inflates the doll “Keep going. She’s lookin’ good, Vern”.
