Does this wig make my heart look small?

It’s nice to know that Scott Morrison has learned his lesson and has started to display some sensitivity and compassion, at least to himself, describing his comments about the refugee funerals as going a bit too far, which is a truly masterful and magnanimous understatement.

The word is that he’s getting his ideas from One Nation, but let’s face it, Pauline pretty much wrote Australia’s recent and current refugee policy, though to their very tiny credit, Labor at least has the grace to occasionally look ever so slightly ashamed about it.

Here’s a rough idea from last week that got buried because of the cyclone. It was referring to the “Million Person March” in Egypt, but seems even more appropriate now. Good to see people power can win the day. Let’s hope it stays that way.

There’s a hole in the budget, dear Lara, dear Lara, and we all know what that means.

The first job to go was that of Airdy, the previous treasurer, who apparently wants to sit on a few corporate boards and help out in third world countries, which is the inevitable fate of any country in which Airdy is allowed to sit on corporate boards. Let’s hope he only sits on corporate boards in countries very far away.

The second job to go was David “Backflip” Bartlett’s, who rather fortunately for everyone is unlikely to be allowed to reverse his last decision as premier.

Not a bad start, really.
