SINKING SHIP TURNS TO SALTY NAVAL DITTY TO LIFT SPIRITS



CANBERRA : With its captain resolutely strapped to the wheel in a Sargasso Sea of  writhing monsters intent on devouring the crew  , the SS Coalition’s   Funk Bunker Barrel  Brigade  has  come  up  with  this  jolly  song  to  get  the seasick, scurvy  swabs  pulling  together on the oars . Meanwhile , back at  the  docks , a rodent exterminator  has  been  called in to eradicate  a severe  outbreak of  tome gnawing in  the   famous bookshelves  of Attorney-General   Senator  Brandis  which  are  larger  than  those of the  fabled  library  of ancient  Alexandria .  And a skinhead in a leather jacket is expected to nail a writ to the mast of the leaking vessel once it limps into port in  New South  Wales and  take possession of the hulk .
