In the House
of Representatives , Speaker Bronwyn
Bishop is as powerful as the Dowager Empress Cixi
of China . Annoy her , and you
can lose your tongue and barely keep your head
as you are booted out of her court .
In a certain unnamed Asian country, if you upset the
Lord High Speaker/Executioner you can be dragged out and shot
by your own comrades . Astonishingly , there appears to
have been a challenge to Madam Speaker’s life and death
powers during the current sitting
This exclusive photograph ,
above , taken by a war surplus drone, captures the mysterious moment
when something unexplained happened in the
House of Reps and Ms Bishop, unkindly known as the Perfumed Steamroller , demanded , “ Where
did that come from? ” Was it a
paper plane , a brickbat or a
recycled Chinese Fortune Cookie ?
Of course , it came from the
left field , where the rowdy Opposition
sits when not being hurled out in numbers greater than animals boarding
Noah’s ark. The Speaker
, also nastily nicknamed the Perfumed
Piranha in the past, seemed to be glaring up higher , above the Non-U Alp seats, towards the gallery area .
In the photo , parliamentary staff , Sweaty Joe, the PM and Bill Shorten also appear somewhat taken aback by what took place . There was no explanation and , as often happens, the illustrious political reporters failed to explain or notice, perhaps due to the fact that they have been decimated in number, turned into churnalists or social media monitors.

Question Time resumed ; at one stage during the chamber (potting ) , Ms
Bishop kindly beamed at and
welcomed a Chinese delegation in the gallery
, unfortunately seated on the left , in what looked like a brand new
terracotta extension of the Great Wall of China . A bemused
member managed a wave to one and all , especially Clive Palmer.
In another offbeat event, Education Minister Christopher Pyne looked like a
real swot when he donned a pair of horn- rimmed glasses and read his
briefing notes . It is to be hoped that there is more uprising on the left . It is good for a democracy clearly under challenge by forces of darkness . However, just in case people
feel like taking on the Speaker in parliament , remember the Dowager
Empress set the bloodthirsty Boxers on the foreign
devils. When the Boxers were beaten , the smart concubine
Dowager Empress, described as the most vilified lady in history , returned
to the Forbidden City and , like Ms Bishop, invited representatives of powerful
countries and organisations in for a cuppa
, showing off her fine new china.
