Said the Abbott to the Bishop… Victory?

Said the Abbott to the Bishop… Victory?

Said the Abbott!

Said the Abbott!

Ok truth seekers, as we face the the second week of the Abbott led Murdoch government, and the advent of his first ministry, I thought it might be a good idea to start the week as we mean to carry on, with a little bit of light relief   😀

So I have added another episode in my “Said the Abbott to the Bishop… ”  series of poems with;

Said the Abbot to the Bishop… Victory?

 

Said the Abbott to the Bishop

I have realised my dreams

I can’t believe the voters

Were all sucked in by my schemes

And now I am the PM

I’m not sure, quite what to do

Cos those bloody lies and slogans

Have just dumped us in the poo

😯

Those blasted Indonesians

Are already such a pain

Rejecting two main policies

Make our plans look quite insane

We’ve only been here for a week

But already they won’t play fair

So you’d better go and talk to them

And show them your death stare

😉

We promised turning boats around

And buying some as well

So if your death stare doesn’t work

Our plans are shot to hell

They should recognise my mandate

As Australian PM

But I’ll bet they’re getting back at us

Because you verballed them

😦

Said the Abbott to Scott Morrison

Our Sovereign Borders Slogan

We urgently must implement

So find a three star bogan

A General like Jim Molan

Would be my preferred pick

A gung ho man who’ll turn boats round

And won’t make me look a dick

😯

He’s gotta look impressive

And he’s gotta play his part

So that Operation Sovereign Borders

Doesn’t look like a brain fart

And if those leaky fishing boats

Continue to keep coming

Then we’ll pretend to look the other way

And start whistling, or humming

😉

Said the Abbott to George Brandis

Attorney General is your game

And you’ve proven quite conclusively

That “Justice” is just a name

To be discarded easily

So charges can be dismissed

Just like you did for Peta

with her charge of driving pissed

🙄

And you’ll really have your hands quite full

With Ashbygate and Thomson

Cos we really don’t want either case

To bite us on the Johnson

So play the game the way you do

And try not to get caught

Cos we shouldn’t be too blatant

With our legal system rort

😀

Said the Abbott to the Sloppy Joe

The new emergency

Is to make the budget look much worse

Than it does look currently

So call in Pete Costello

And his budget, fudging team

To produce a budget nightmare

From the Labors budget dream

😯

Cos we know that our scare mongering

Was nothing but a farce

But we cannot let the people know

We were talking through our arse

And our fiscal credibility

Is really on the line

And we mustn’t let the people know

Our Country’s doing fine

🙄

Said the Abbott to the Bronny Bishop

The speaker you will be

Cos young Julie Bishop’s the token woman

In my ministry

And I think you’ll do a stellar job

And it’s not about your gender

It’s cos you ride a mean high horse

And are a great truth bender

😀

Your hair will be distracting

And your voice can get quite shrill

And you’re not as good as Julie

But your looks can also kill

And we know you’re not impartial

So I’m sure you’ll do just fine

To keep the rabble in their place

As you tow our party line

😯

Said the Abbott to Mal Turnbull

You have done your job, right proper

To promote our modern bronze age

By retaining all that copper

Cos the truth is that our NBN

Is not about the speed

It’s all about us pandering

To Rupert Murdoch’s greed

😯

Said the Abbott to the faithful

There’s now work that must be do

Turning lies and spin to policy

Instead of cattle poo

And although the history books should show

We’ve won a great victory

Don’t you all, get carried away

Cos it’s really… all about… me

😀

Sainthood here I come!

Sainthood here I come!

    Truthy,
    I love this one, I reckon your best one yet.
    One thing, you’ll have plenty of source material.
    I’m excited, week two.
    Will it be a week of nothingness ?
    Up to 2 days ago, 4 boats with 377 people had arrived under his watch.
    I know it’s gonna hurt a lot of people, but I want action man to start doing stuff.
    Every thing he does will just get more people off side, and make it harder for him.
    Go get their arses kicked by the Indonesians, send out a Navy ship to turn a boat around, go spend the week with the indigenous communities.
    That would be a start.
    I’m starting to enjoy the thoughts of the fun that can be had ,in opposition, if they adopt the Abbott playbook, {which they need to do}
    Mate, it’s not all bad.
    seeing I’m cheerful at the thought ,I have to rate this 11/10

    All this crap about being calm from Abbott is such a load of horse shit.
    Can someone remind him how he acted in opposition.
    Ran around the country telling everyone one that the carbon “tax” was gonna wipe us off the map, hypocritically screamed foul over misogyny because of a private message from slipper.
    Constantly called the govt rotten and should die of shame.
    50+ of completely useless SSO rants.
    Blocking Labors mandate on an ETS
    … the list goes on
    Abbott can STFU on about being calm, if he expects people who were on the receiving end to forget, then he is sadly (not) mistaken.

    “The cabinet of Afghanistan now has more women (three) in it,” Mr Bowen said.

    “It is a disappointing day when Australia goes so backwards, so backwards.”

    There is still the problem I believe, of who the three star general would be accountable to. Have not heard that one sorted out.

    Abbott will put off resumption of parliament, until the latest date he can. I believe he has to call the house together, 30 days after he is sworn in.

    Abbott will then flood the house with legislation. Most will be guillotine through the Lower House, with Abbott claiming all are emergency bills.

    They will reach the senate, where the present makeup, will send all off to committees, where they will be stymied for the rest of the year.

    As for things like the MYEFO, these we will not see, until February next year.

    Everything will then precede, with Abbott lying low, until about July 2014. Of course there will be the normal budget in Mat, I believe.

    There is no guarantee, that Abbott will be able to hold it together, until then. We have a ministry, of yesterday’s men, a mixture of extreme conservatives. No moderates in this cabinet. All with very strong ideas of their own entitlement and worth.

    If Abbott can control them, I will have to raise my opinion of him.
