FD: Great ‘toon.

Breathless with anticipation, I too watched Question Time. This was going to be the Rabbott’s great revelation. The moment for him, and his nasty little ankle-biter’s, great revenge on the evil, red-headed witch masquerading as our Prime Minister. Given fifteen minutes of total silence to make his case, he accused her of ‘conduct unbecoming’. Coming from the man whose hero was Bob Santamaria, this was a compliment.

The priest and the Bishop make a wonderful contribution to the Oz parliamentary process. NOT!

I love magpies. A friend rescued one with a broken leg. Once better it wasn’t interested in joining up with its former friends, so now he inhabits the garden and the home paddock passing wry comments and investigating peoples’ belongings.

What kind of love, and how were you offering it for a taxi at 8.30am in Canberra?

Fred Williams’ paintings will always pull focus, in my experience.
