The increasing loss of hair on Immigration Minister Peter Dutton as the election tussle continues is evident in this photo of him with hairy MHR for Dawson George Christensen (LNP ) , whose very name makes the long locks of a well known Darwin lady of distinction stand on end .
In the case of Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull , it seems incredible that he could possibly come down with the dreaded lurgy , as photographed , above , waving his arms about against the background circular logo for the less than agile and nimble Turnbull Coalition Team , it looks as if he is one of the three wise men with a whopper halo in a modern day version of the Adoration of the Magi by either Sandro Botticelli or Leonardo da Vinci .

Imitating an angry fire ant as the marathon election crawls along is the Treasurer , left , whose pent up antipathy towards the ALP came through in a boisterous exchange with Fran Kelly on Radio National , which probably cost the Coalition a few thousand votes .
The Coalition has a handicap with its frontline sales team ...Christopher Pyne has long passed his use by date ; Michaelia Cash , seen below being tickled by the PM , performs like a karaoke singer on The Voice ; Attorney-General George Brandis , rarely seen on the hustings , has been branded a "dud" by Crikey ; in the case of Defence Minister Marise Payne , the disgruntled old boys' clique in the Coalition is undermining her , and Turnbull , pushing for the Mad Monk , Tony Abbott , to take her baton after the election . Of course, she who must be obeyed , Peta Credlin ,has found fault with the way Malcolm is performing in the election.
There appears to be no truth in the beaut story that Lucy Turnbull , who recently stepped down as president of the German-Australian Chamber of Industry and Commerce , dressed like Brunhilde the shield warrior and valkyrie in German mythology , home alone in The Lodge , each night, vents full throated anger about the iniquities of the compaign and the action of that overcooked , hairy German sausage John Howard who convinced Malcolm to stay on in politics , rather than let him roam free in a relaxed , exotic location , away from the maddening Canberra crowd .
And the Deputy Prime Minister , baffling Barnaby Joyce , who promised Malcolm the support of the Nationals as long as he did not go in hard on global warming , was seen standing on a table , apparently worried about rising sea levels . Just recently on the ABC Four Corners , he made a convoluted statement about global warming in which he seemed to be saying he had been up a creek not only without a paddle, but , more worrying , without water . Then he went out and threatened to deport a Lama to Cambodia . Somebody else, a guy in a frock , was told to piss off .
