It is with deep regret we announce the passing of ‘Santa’s Little Helper’

‘Passing the baton’. John Howard retrieving the Prime Ministerial baton.

Dear reader, the editorial staff at pcbycp regret the surprise passing of the Abbott Government. Media agencies, the blogosphere and ordinary workaday folk like you and I will feel the loss acutely. There was never ever in the history of human kind something so funny as the Abbott Government.

Indeed as I write Vladimir Putin has expressed his deep regret that he alone must bare his musculature and do the heavy lifting. Further condolences have arrived from Cardinal Pell, who has renewed his efforts to remove the pesky left pope, and restore some common sense into the vatican, before coming back to assert the fundamental rights of fundamentalists. Whilst the rank and file of the Labor party are flummoxed that they may have to activate “thinking” mode in their esteemed leader, Mr. Bill Shorten.

Women this nation over are distraught as the “Minister for Women” is no longer on the world stage to look after their interests, and Aboriginals have lost a “dear friend”. Life must go on.

Passing the baton. Peta Credlin advising Julie Bishop on ‘what women really want”!

In reflection we hope that Rupert Murdoch will do his best to fill the gap and keep us all amused. And we sincerely hope that the ideological far right within the Liberal National Coalition will do what they can to fill the breach and ensure that the 99% will work just that bit harder for the 1%.

The good news is that today we announce our North American Correspondent. G.T . Beauregard. We feel confident he will do his best to inspire us with riveting accounts of life and observations made acute in that glorious flower of the South, New Orleans. Beauregard, we believe a direct descendant of the famous PGT, (Pierre Gustave Toutant) no less. We hope in anticipation that his extracts may provide both an amusing and illuminating insight into the deep end, (the Paris End) of the deep south. Insights perhaps not terribly dissimilar to our very own Deep North.

So it’s onwards and upwards as another stirring page of Australian political history unfolds. Congratulations must be given to the Abbott government for closing most things down and saving the taxpayer quite a bit of money. Saving us from innovation, manufacturing, thinking, education, and imagination. And special credit for saving us from refugees, and making us all feel safe! These are uncertain times ahead, but rest assured we know deep within our hearts that as a nation our capacity to think big is only limited by the small mindedness of our political elite. Rest assured we have it on good authority from Rupert that it’ll be ‘business as usual’.

pcbycp welcome our new correspondent, G.T. Beauregard, from the “Paris End’ of the deep south.

One can only hope so!!

In a world of tumult and much change, we must hold fast to those institutions that protect and nurture us. For Tony, there is an uncharitable rumour circulating that he lost his entitlement to a really BFPPMP!! Big Fat Parliamentary Prime Ministerial Pension; by two days.

Shame on you Turnbull.

God save the Queen!!
