Canine bites meringue and Speaker
|
CANBERRA: Hundreds of Australian meringue
factories have closed since the beastly
, flea-ridden First Dog On
The Moon cartoonist , Andrew
Marlton , depicted the House
of Representatives Speaker,
Bronwyn Bishop , as a meringue .
Marvellous
Marlton’s fabulous strip in
the Guardian Australia
said the Speaker ran the House like
an angry echidna in a
balloon shop , letting the government call the Opposition all kinds of nasty names . In response , just the other day, Opposition Leader, Bill Shorten, was forced to accuse the Mad Monk of telling fairy tales to the Australian nation. The angry meringue
had
earlier ordered Shorten not to use the expression, lies. Marlton’s absurd and unkind comic
strip
caused lamington eaters throughout the nation to
laugh hysterically , many of them to
choke and be rushed to emergency for a stomach pump, followed by a year’s supply of true blue Canadian
suppositories
. As a result , meringue sales have plummeted , factories have closed .
In the tuck shop , Head
Prefect and Adelaide pie floater addict , Christopher Pyne , sprang to the defence of the Speaker , saying First Dog on the Moon was obviously rabid and if not shot on sight should at least be castrated .
It was offensive to the extreme for the cartoonist to draw the Speaker as a meringue . Just the other day she
had looked like a tasty
Iced Vo Vo, he added.
Over-cooked
Bush Damper , Billabong
Barnaby , reckoned the Speaker looked more like a Sweet Potato chaperone at a noisy woolshed bachelor and spinster ball in his electorate .
