A much needed touch of class has been introduced into Queensland’s rough and tumble politics with the appointment of a Pommie butler called Jeeves for Premier Campbell Newman . One of our photographers caught Jeeves , right, nervously peeping out of a window at a large demo by angry workers. Jeeves is a foundation member of the Jersey Cow Society in Britain , proudly wears its badge on his coat, loves English roast beef , but is willing to try the whopper steaks they serve in Rockhampton . In an exclusive interview with this blog, Jeeves said he will use a #10 bastard file to take some of the rough edges off several of the LNP members . He strongly defended his appointment ,saying that since the government announced the contestability test for the people’s assets so that they can be flogged off, staff numbers reduced, it had been flooded with interstate and overseas groups wanting to get part of the action. Giving this horde finger food , such as truffles, caviar and bugs, kept him flat out, the Premier frequently needing to be brushed down , his tie straightened , fingernails checked.
