They base this startling claim on several recent events , including the media conference, above, in which Federal Treasurer Josh Frydenberg passed himself off as Minister for Health , Greg Hunt. Hunt had not been looking any sicker than usual , so it was a bizarre act to trot out the anaemic looking chancellor of the exchequer to say the basic fundamentals of the spreading virus were extremely healthy .
It had failed to deceive the alert media because Josh in no way resembles Minister Hunt . As everybody knows , Hunt , below, right , looks more like one of those slim critters which chase doomed rabbits down burrows . He has much more hair, though admittedly in need of a brush , than Josh . Crude graffiti with associated rhyming slang related to Hunt has been seen under the Katherine River bridge in the Northern Territory, over the town's unhealthy water supply.
On the other hand , Josh has an all round , fuller figure , admittedly with very little hair on top but muscular Wimbledon formed biceps .
It would therefore be impossible for the cigar smoking Treasurer to pass himself off permanently as the Health Minister . So he may have to just settle to wearing his new Sir hairpiece , left behind on a cruise ship in Sydney , to cover his thinly thatched dome as a distraction to prevent the media from asking questions about the surplus which was an illusion and card trick from the beginning .
