    The mast of his masthead is just above water on its way down, and he is throwing rocks at the rescuers. “Hurry towards the light Kim”; it makes little difference whether it is the sun gods clacker or the fires from your own blowtorches; just hurry.

    unc·tu·ous/ˈəNG(k)CHo͞oəs/
    Adjective:
    (of a person) Excessively or ingratiatingly flattering; oily: “anxious to please in an unctuous way”.

    See panel 7, bottom right.

    I think a potato wrote that in its jacket.
    Haha the Australian scrutinises Mr Rabbott without fear or favour. I missed that one.

    Thanks, AndyBob. Zut and Holden, two gold stars for decimal currency / fart joke.

    I’m with Paddy on this one, Firsty. Democracy – what can be more robust than a wombat’s arse ? Certainly not a Toyota Landcruiser. Have you encountered wombat turds ? Man, those monsters make road base look soft and squishy. I say wombats, 1: 4WDs, Nil; democracy, Nil.

    FD, what’re you drinking/consuming? I want some. Sound really feel-good.

    Does this sort of KY grovelling qualify as fore-play?

    And how long has it been since we’ve had an “independent press”?
    Or a balanced one?
    Murdoch’s “Hacks R’ Us” sells PR & protection.
