I’m going to assume you already saw this Badger, but for those who didn’t….

The Punch “opinion from everywhere”  sidebar has yielded gold from The Australian:

“Labor’s Lost begins with a plane crash that strands the surviving passengers of Kevin 07 on a tropical island, forcing Labor MPs and the independents to work together to stay alive.

But their survival is immediately threatened by various mysterious entities, including a carbon price, the haunting ghost of Kevin Rudd, an unseen creature that roams the jungle (the “Latham”), and the island’s malevolent, and largely unseen, inhabitants, known as “Focus Groups”.

After discovering a mysterious metal hatch marked policy, Greg Combet tries to break in, while the NSW Right, led by David Bradbury, attempts to flee the island on a coconut raft.”

The bit at the end where everyone is shown to (eventually) be dead is probably a reference to the fate of the NSW ALP next March..

Of course Tony Abbott often does that before making decisions? George Pell is probably in his electorate?

im,
Abbott a nd Morrison visited Inverbrackie, as well as t he meetings over the MDBA proposals.  Are we really supposed to believe he cares about the welfare of asylum seekers, rural residents, or the health of the Murray river?
