SNOWY RIVER COALITION BRUMBIES ON THE RUN

Looking   saddle sore and grim  , as  if  they had been  galloping all over the  nation  and  the South Pacific  ,  chasing  votes   and  the  colt   from  old  Regret,  Prime  Minister   Scott  Morrison's  group  was  snapped   soon  after  applying horse liniment  to sore parts  at  the  Snowy Hydro  2.0  project  photo opportunity .  
 
As  the next stage in  the  Snowy River  project, much loved by  Malcolm  Turnbull  before his  stablemates sent him to the knackery ,   is   shovel ready, the  PM  decided  to shovel  a  heap of  money  on   it   to  try and save   the Coalition  from   going   down   the   gurgler  at  the  election , in  large part  due to its fake   climate  change  policy  in  which  the  Shetland pony   riding school  expression "canter " was  repeatedly and  erroneously  used .   
 
 It   followed  the  PM's  announcement  in  Hobart   to  run  an  umbilical  cord    from  Tassie   to Victoria   to  guarantee  the  lights  stay  on  during the  Moomba Festival  and Lygon Street  cafes and massage parlours always have  power.   Finance  Minister    Senator Mathias   Cormann    looks  as  if  he  would rather be  on  a holiday in Singapore  floating about in  a  pool  on  a  VIP  inflatable   horse   ring   than  taking  part  in  the  announcement .


Energy  Minister  Angus  Taylor always looks   as if   he  has a  prickle  under his  saddle cloth  which  causes his mount to  pigroot while he is  vainly explaining  the  Coalition's  energy policy in  public . A representative of  the military brought up the  rear  to  check  the  river for  illegal  boats. All  four men , it will be noticed, presented themselves as unbranded  cleanskins-their   ties  discarded .---(Apologies  to  Banjo Paterson  and  Mr  Ed ,  the talking horse, also   Mr  Ed ,  a  former  talkative  US  ambassador  to  Australia .)
