Suddenly , members of the fleshy Coalition are being depicted in the daring nude pose of actor Jack Thompson that graced the centrespread in Cleo magazine when Ita Buttrose , new head of the ABC board , had her hand on the editorial red pen .
A prime example of this is the above warts and all brilliant cartoon of ScoMo by John Shakespeare, a descendant of the Bard , as seen on ABC Insiders . In Queensland , where some fully dressed Coalition figures frighten feral brumbies just by standing still , the fear of being voted out has got them doing backflips, threatening to strip naked the Wagga Wagga Wrong Font, Deputy PM and Elvis impersonator, Michael McCormack, during the forthcoming Budget week sitting of parliament .
In Townsville , there was an odd situation when pianola playing Senator Ian Macdonald stretched out atop lumpy Castle Hill in an arthritic Jack Thompson-like pose . We hasten to point out to maiden aunts , who might have a touch of the vapours upon reading thus far , that the senator was fully clothed . It was a zipper -truly- photo opportunity to announce funding for a zipline, café and other attractions on the peak . Every federal election there is a sermon on the Castle Hill caught short by several feet mount and the pork barrel is flashed.
Methinks former PM Tony Abbott, he frequently exposed in budgie smugglers, who only this week publicly renewed his love affair with Paris , held a media conclave on Castle Hill .

Maiden aunts are again warned that the following section of this report may cause hot flushes .

A naked figure , at least sporting a figleaf , not in the Thompson reclining position, appeared in the above March 7 cartoon in the Townsville Bulletin , which portrays upright , fully suited, Senator Macdonald in connection with $1.5million funding for an underwater art museum for the Queen City of the North and beyond.

If this trend of using nudity in media political coverage continues , concerned observers say it will surely only be a matter of time before gun happy Bob Katter senior , whose mouth twitchings seem to indicate he has a mucous problem like ole Man Lucas , will be snapped spread out in all his glory on a crocodile skin , possibly that of the popular Cardwell saurian Bismarck , recently plugged by an unknown yokel who will undoubtedly vote for the forces of darkness .
FOOTNOTE : In his recent, expensive dash to Christmas Island , where he was photographed by the media conclave in 57 positions - pointing, posing, glaring, waving , laying on of hands , happy clapping , rolling up his sleeves, rapid reading, performing an exorcism or two -calling down thunder and lightning upon the head and boobs of Bill Shorten , Scott Morrison caught crabs and personally bricked himself - a most painful experience , requiring him to be immediately evacuated to the mainland for medical treatment from Dr Kerryn Phelps , wielding a brand new walnut cracker , kindly donated by former PM Malcolm Turnbull, the instrument hard to handle after immersion in the boiling autoclave.
The man bringing up the rear in this photo, with his hand in his pocket, is the increasingly animated Attorney General , Christian Porter , who seems to have replaced Christopher Pyne as The Fixer.
Some ungrateful residents said Morrison's short visit of five hours would damage the tourist industry . "Why the bloody hell did he come over to Christmas Island ? " they lamented.
