RUSTY BUGLES AND BIKES


As from today, the Coalition has a new dynamic leader: “Iron Bar ” Tony Abbott- Tuckey . In a strange twist , the Coalition’s troublesome WA uncle , Iron Bar Wilson Tuckey , has claimed Tony Abbott is the reincarnation of a pioneering member of the Tuckey clan who disappeared on what would have been a history making bicycle ride.

He was Tiny Tim Tuckey , also known as Pig Iron Bob, who vanished in an attempt to make the first circumnavigation of Australia on a primitive bike as part of the 1901 Federation celebrations. A health fanatic , Tiny Tim set off from Perth on the epic ride with only a spare inner tube, a bottle of grandma’s kickapoo juice brewed in the family's illegal still and a sack of sago. There were suggestions that he was captured by a flying saucer while crossing the Nullarbor and his valve rubber subjected to painful scrutiny by evil aliens.

Wilson Tuckey says that now Tony Abbott wants to be dubbed Iron Man Abbott , he should change his surname by deed poll to the hyphenated Abbott –Tuckey and honour the demon Tuckey family road hog at the same time.
