BRISBANE : Facing a massive loss of seats at the looming election, the Newman LNP
Government is obviously, desperately following the ABC docu-comedy Utopia for vote winning inspiration. No sooner than a madcap scheme was proposed in Utopia to build a bridge from
the mainland to Tasmania than the
Queensland Government announced it plans to double
the size of a bridge to an island .
Then Premier Campbell "Cantilever "Newman enthusiastically endorsed a Brisbane City Council proposal to close down the city's Story Bridge and rent it out at $50,000 a pop for private functions, despite traffic management problems . Describing the bridge as arguably Queensland's most iconic structure , he said it could be used to promote the city to the world. Wow.

It has been leaked that regular Monty Python fish slapping events
will be held on
the bridge to raise campaign funds for the LNP which is showing signs of tumbling down like London Bridge. In these hilarious Story Bridge happenings an overweight LNP member in Bombay Bloomers, wearing a pith helmet and blue tie , will smack a prancing unionist
waving a puny Tommy Ruff with a rock solid Gladstone exploding eye Barramundi and knock them into the Brisbane River . Those parts of the world not in Australia will be truly gobsmacked .
