Said the Abbott to the Bishop, take 2!
After the recent madness in our political arena, I thought a bit of light relief would be in order 😀 and what better way than to revisit a theme I looked at back in April.
The truth is that I was pretty despondent after Julia’s demise, and wasn’t sure how the inspiration would take me, but when she told us to continue the fight, I knew that that was the only thing that we could and should do.
So with that in mind, I looked to the gift that keeps on giving… Abbott and his LNP 😀 and here is the result. 😀
Said The Abbott To The Bishop, Take 2.
Said the Abbott to the Bishop
There’s now more work to be done
As this damned election campaign
Is looking less and less like fun
Our credibility’s all but shot
Our policies just won’t work
And Rudd keeps asking for debates
To make me look a jerk
😯
And they said you were a lawyer
So I thought you’d be quite smart
But you really dumped us in it
With your Indonesian brain fart
Cos you left the door wide open
For K Rudd to walk straight in
And do us over big time
Using our own brand of spin
😦
How dare he play by our rules
Drumming up a load of fear
The man just has no scruples
I’ll bet next he’ll try some smear
Just because he is the PM
He thinks he’s got some clout
But I’ll show him how a real man acts
I’ll punch the bastard out
🙄
Said the Abbott to the poodle
Dummy spits are not enough
You need to talk some policy
Instead of spin and fluff
On educational reform
They’ve got us by the nuts
So stop your dummy spitting
Cos you’re looking like a klutz
😯
Said the Abbott to the Turd Ball
We could win the broadband game
But it’s hard to sell a policy
When Fraudband is its name
I know you invented the internet
But our creds have copped a hit
Cos when it comes to talking broadband
Our policy is shit
😦
We need a plan to spin it out
To make it sound just great
To counteract their NBN
Before it is too late
So get your act together
And use your bankers nous
Cos I need to take up residence
In Kirribilli House
🙄
Said the Abbott to Scott Morrisscum
The experts all agree
That turning refugee boats around
Is never safe, at sea
Cos those bloody people smugglers
Will scuttle their fishing boat
To make sure that our policy is
Something else that just won’t float
😯
So go and find your own expert
To claim that it will work
Cos those bloody Indonesians
Make me look, a raving jerk
And Rudd has credibility
Cos he was a diplomat
And I can’t take questions on this policy
Just take off like a scalded cat
🙄
Said the Abbott to the LNP
Uncle Rupert’s dropped the ball
He promised I could win this
If I kept my target small
But Rudd is much more popular
And he plays the game like us
And our plan for domination
Is leaving on his bus.
😦
Said the voters to the Abbott,
You hitched your wagon to the press
And the moguls, media spin machines
And now you’re in a mess
Cos you’ve spent this whole term running
From hard questions that were asked
And you haven’t developed policies
And now that time has passed
😯
And we now need questions answered
With truth and common sense
Not airy fairy promises based on
Motherhood statements
So stop your obfuscation
Your weaving and you dodging
Or when the election comes around
You’ll get a royal flogging.
😀
One of your best. Yes, aspirational proposal, no longer meet the mark. It appears policies are needed. What’s more, policies with details, if not costed. The Blue pamphlet , dear Julie, is not enough.
It is not fair, I wanted Julia to fall, but I was too take her place, not that nerd, Julie dear, it s not fair, I have worked so hard to be pipped at the post.

Thanks Truth Seeker that was a fun read.
However.
Watching the ‘Rudd family’ taking over the leadership I have to say that I am now begining to have serious doubts whether I will be voting for them.
And I deliberately said the ‘Rudd family’ as I am getting the impression that they think they are some kind of royal family entitled to rule.
The news that the ‘Rudd family’ will be dumping Julia’s knitted kangaroo and choosing something more upmarket for the Royals baby sucks. It’s the thought that counts not the value.
It seems that “Rudd and family’ are busy removing any Gillard connections or monuments.
Not impressed.
No wonder so many front benchers resigned. They knew what would happen.
I will be voting independent or minor party and preferencing Labor.
That way I support Labor but not it’s leader.
If Rudd wins this election outright it will go to his head and we will be stuck with him for a decade.
I would like to see another hung parliament and Rudd forced to be part of a team.
But Rudd should remember that if Turnbull resurfaces with a decent team ‘Rudd and family’ will have a very short stay at the lodge.
I may be wrong about ‘Rudd and family’ but that’s the way I feel at the moment.
Cheerio.

Orangefox, glad you enjoyed it 😀
I haven;t heard that Rudd is choosing a different present for the royals, but I hope if that is the case, that Julia sends it anyway. 😀
I think that the inherent problems in the ALP organisation will be addressed down the track, and I just hope that Julia’s legacy will remain in spite of Rudd’s machinations.
I also hope that the “Cheerio” isn’t a permanent good bye, as I enjoy your comments and appreciate your input 😀

Enjoyed that, Truthie, & it is so on the money. 😆 You are really good at this. 🙂
Cannot understand what is the problem orangefox sees concerning the Rudd family. Therese Rein is a very busy woman attending to her successful international business. His daughter & eldest son have their own lives & the youngest son would be attending university. Would they rather see the Abbott family as leaders of this country? Of course, they would live at Kirribilli House so his daughters could attend all the A-List events in Sydney.

Joy, thanks for your comment and kind words 😀
I think, for many people, the anger and frustration at Julia’s demise is still very raw, and anything that looks like a diminution of her tenure or legacy is too much to deal with.
But I also think that with time those feelings will ease somewhat, as the reality of politics hits home.
I do understand someone not wanting to support Rudd, although I’m sure that some very good local members may end up paying the price for that, but a second preference should be sufficient in most circumstances. 😀
I must admit to being quite happy with the reference to Kirribilli House 😀 one of my faves 😆
Cheers 😀

Truthie, you’ve surpassed yourself with this offering & I’m seriously considering nominating you for Poet Laureate.
Like Orangefox, I wonder how long they’ll be able to keep The Termite on track; after all they didn’t have much success last time & if he gets the bit between his teeth, they’ll be shitting bricks.
The irony is that if The Termite had acknowledged his part in his own downfall & played the team game, he’d still be Foreign Minister in a majority government looking at a third term with a comfortable majority.
I remain convinced that his treachery led to the minority government, the savaging of Julia Gillard by the gutless wonders in the Liars & the Turdochsm culminating in the polls which caused her downfall.

Jane, it’s good to hear from you 😎 and thanks for that 😀
Yes I agree that he should have just buckled down and played the team game, instead of all the whiteanting and dissent. 😦
I also still believe that Julia would have won regardless, cos when it comes to the things that matter, like honesty, integrity, decency and POLICY, Abbott and his LNP are found sadly wanting 😯 , but as much as I dislike what has happened, it is what it is, and we still have to make sure that our focus is on NOT letting Abbott and his bunch of right wing nut-jobs near the government benches.
I’m not usually one for conspiracy theories, but I am sure that the polls were, at the very least, manipulated, if not completely fudged, to make Julia look like the looser in the publics eyes, thereby becoming a self fulfilling prophesy, or at least that was the plan. 😯

Yes, Truthie, I’m sure you’re right about the polls. I notice that the ABC is still quoting the Newspoll this week and ignoring the Morgan, despite the fact that Morgan is a multi-media poll while Newspoll is a land-line job, and Morgan polls more than 3,000 voters while Newspoll contacts about 1,000. Did you see that Bob Ellis has stuck his neck right out on Independent Australia?

Hi Kate, thanks for your comment 😀
They just can’t help themselves, 😯 I’ve seen so many reports quoting newspoll, and completely ignoring the Morgan polls 🙄
Yes I read Bob Ellis’s piece on IA, and although it looks like a brave prediction, I think he may be right 😀

Yes, the Bob Ellis piece might seem a bit far-fetched at first glance. In fact I noticed that one disgruntled commentator is demanding that IA drop Ellis because he’s letting the side down. I hope they take no notice of that. Ellis had been spot on in the past, although I think this particular prediction might come unstuck if Kevin puts his foot in it too often, or if Abbott suddenly starts talking sense – there’s many a slip twixt the cup and the lip. I think the biggest danger for Rudd would be to call the election later rather than sooner. He’s got the numbers now.

Kate, I think that he may well be right, but I also know what you’re saying and agree that it wouldn’t take much for circumstances to change. 🙄
Having said that, the chances of Abbott talking sense, are more remote than the chances of hell freezing over, going on past and present form 😀
