The African election shoot out continued in the Legislative Assembly . While the Zebra-mobile had vanished from outside the Wedding Cake, there were suspicious stains on the carpet in the south gallery , where hordes of visiting schoolchildren capered about noisily like chimps in a cage at the zoo. As if bitten by a swarm of Tsetse flies, feverish members charged each other with being stooges of Canberra . Chief Minister Paul Henderson accused the CLP of being a mouthpiece for the Mad Monk, Tony Abbott , stripped down to his very bare essentials in the above caricature by one of our growing team of artists and correspondents who intend to put some much needed life into local reporting .
During some lively exchanges, the strains of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly were heard in the chamber ( actually recorded in Hansard ) . It came from the direction of the Chinese dragon and baby lion wrestler, the Member for Fong Lim, Dave Tollner.
Attorney-General , Rob Knight, wearing a differerent suit to the one the day before (who said the emperor has no clobber?),quipped that somebody was the Ugly One, which is hurtful and possibly actionable at law .
Little Darwin , having mentioned the great Swahili nation in a previous post, influenced the debate as Minister Knight told The Elf that it was good that the CLP had a Swahili speechwriter sitting upstairs . The Elf denied that a literate tribesman , mission trained no doubt, had been used to compose another great tale out of Darkest Africa ; it was all his own work .
Having threatened to use the slipper on unruly, ejaculating members, Speaker Jane Aagaard said imputations , epithets and ironic expressions were out of order. Somehow, the Chief Minister mentioned Planet Triton, Tollner demanded to know the impact of the carbon tax on the cost of a litre of milk and a metre of concrete , he probably capable of talking under a lorry load of the sloppy stuff.
Having been called a bozo by the Member for Greatorex, Matt Conlan,the Chief Minister retaliated- not with a custard pie-but with a retort about a cubic yard of marshmallow.*
