Senator Canavan almost brings down the house with another I, Claudius imitation in the Senate .
|
With the Turnbull Government increasingly looking like a Down Under version of the notorious Italian political system , Queensland senator Matt Canavan has dramatically resigned from the dangerous Canberra Clean Black Hand Coal Gang as the Minister for Resources because he has Italian citizenship . Seems his Italian mother took out Italian citizenship for him when he was 26 in 2006 , without telling him ... Mumma Mia !!!
In Japan , where Spaghetti Westerns are very popular , the demise of Senator Canavan is being described in news reports as another Macaroni Western in Australia , not a crocodile or shark attack . Enterprising Japanese television producers are rushing to launch a new super zany series based on disappearing Aussie senators , similar to the smash hit Japanizi Going Going Gong!
The ALP recently put the Italian slipper into Senator Canavan and some of his Coalition buddies-including troublesome Tony "Stilleto " Abbott and Josh "Gelati Enforcer " Frydenberg (Minister for Energy and Environment)-via the fullpage advertisement , below , in the Murdoch Cairns Post which implied Rome would be rebuilt long before any development took place in North Australia under the Northern Australian Infrastructure Facility .

It pointed out not one Italian lira of the $5billion NAIF kitty had so far been allocated. Canavan , it will be recalled , is a Murdoch Townsville Bulletin regular who got a run backing car stickers mocking latte ( an Italianate beverage) drinkers over opposition to Adani . And just recently the Bulletin, for some strange reason, seemed to give Senator Canavan a bigger run in one day's edition than Johnathan Thurston after kicking yet another golden point victory.
