    Mr ‘D’: Last two frames so tragically sad, but I love HMAS Thingy.

    To maintain the nautical theme I would love to watch the mad Rabbott and the last great ‘God is a white man’, Scott Morrison, being keelhauled-slowly.

    Tow, tow tow the boats
    Roughly out to sea,
    We’re the Abbott’s navy,
    And you’re just refugees!

    I don’t know about their identities but the chappy doing the paperwork obviously has ticks.
    If its got anything to do with sailors or seamen and tossing people overboard, the poodle and his BF Bob the dog will be hoping its raining men.

    Ya know, I am reminded of an interview I once read with Eddie Van Halen. The subject swung to the movie “This is Spinal Tap”, to which he remarked (I’m paraphrasing here) “I hated it, it wasn’t funny at all – this is my band!”

    As remarked upon above, the last two frames especially are almost too true to be funny (but they were piss funny, Firsty).

    Interesting possibilities Zut. I note that the Rarebit is trying to create a prime ministerial convention of Indonesia beign the first country to be visited by an incoming PM. I’m guessing the tow back option might turn out to be a non-core promise that wasnt given in writing at that point.

    Ah such nauticalness ! McHale’s navy ….. Timely with Ernest Borgnine being piped off this mortal coil this week – in his 90s. Well done you gapped-tooth tiger.

    Klewso – you start first and we’ll join in half way. Roughly somewhere in the Banda Straits.

    I blame the Greens. For being so out of touch with the times. These are times of f*ckwittery, mean-spiritedness, self-interested violence and a lot more hyphenated things. Get with the program, tree-huggers. Outsource refugee bouncing to those Russian dudes who go pirate hunting in the Red Sea. Shoot first, don’t even bother asking questions.

    Australia, you’re standing in it – or floating just off it.

    It’s certainly time to change the government. The problem is how to vote the opposition out as well. Then we could go for the kind of theocracy that turns a blind eye to kiddie-fiddling and wants to burn gay whales at the stake.

    Somebody get me the captain on the speaking tube.

    Tony, tow the boat a-shore
    Hallelujah!
    Then you’ll hear dog whistle blow
    Hallelujah!

    First Dog = genius and national treasure.
    Put me down for subscription (ie contribution) to The Aus front pager. Or what about the
    Herald Sun. Should be going a bit cheaper – circulation’s down, innit.
