My Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the Great Australian Circus of Democracy where all have according to the High Sheriff, George “Sneer” Brandis, “The-Right-to-be Bigots” and right-wing thought-bubble-tanks with charity status like “The-Coots-With-Queer-Ideas-From-a-Parallel-Universe” (who really wrote the18C script) are running the country for their unknown and faceless backers and pretend journalists and commentators like “Blot-On-The-Landscape” are free to write and spout whatever they wish.

My Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen, you are herewith advised that laughing with intent to infect Parliament is hereby forbidden as is addressing the Speaker Bronwyn “Kerosene-Pompador” Bishop as “Madam Speaker.” Notwithstanding these strictures on behaviour Chwissy “The-Whyne” Pyne, the “Perfect-Prat-of-a-Prefect” has Royal leave to label anyone he likes ”Potato-Head”, “Sooks” or whatever other grown-up epithet he solely finds amusing and appropriate as discourse.

My Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen, amidst much joyful celebration, the “Red-Tape-Repeal- Day” sideshow kicked off with the momentous proclamation that herewith e-mail shall henceforth be termed email and to much applause from Senator Cory “Bestiality” Bernardi’s paddles clapping together, was the order that Mules and Bullocks will no longer be used for defense….. or any other purpose. Unfortunately the Business Council didn’t see in these cost savings, measures sufficient for their needs and is asking for the repeal of all onerous taxes which impede growth of their personal wealth and that workers penalty rates, minimum pay rates, sick leave and annual leave be abolished to further assist in their primary aim.

My Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen, Hear Ye, Hear Ye, a proclamation from Senator Matthius “Horse-Shite” Coorman, (stand-in Clown for Arfur “Spiv” Sinodinas who is trying to explain to an Inquisition matters about excessive re-numeration and unfortunate choice of friends) It is announced that forthwith Financial advisors will only have their own personal financial interest at heart; that there is no need to disclose ongoing commissions and that Medibank Private be sold to build a road…. or something.

My Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen, be upstanding for an announcement by the Duchess of Diplomacy, Julie “Death-Stare” Bishop. It is announced that there is no need for Australia to attend an international enquiry into war crimes in Sri Lanka as there is no possibility that the patrol boats we gave to Sri Lanka could possibly be used to harm human rights. And that no importance is attached to the fact that Sri Lankan Navy personnel are showing admirable free-market spirit in running the biggest of their country’s people smuggling business.
