Black Holes revisited

Prime Minister, do you remember when in August last year I talked to you about Budgeting and Black Holes?
Black Holes??
Yes...
Black Holes? No...
Surely you remember! You said your budgeting contained no Black Holes...
Black....   Black Holes.....  Can't say I do..... Totally blacked out on that one...
Hmm, away with the stars...

Crisis!

Did you know we are at war?

We are?

Yes, no doubt about it! At war with DEBT, at war with DRUGS, at war with BOAT PEOPLE, at war with INTERNET CRIMINALS, at war with LIBERAL EDUCATIONISTS, at war with BIKIES and at war with UNIONS….  At war with our OPPONENTS.

So that’s why we need strike fighters, war time taxation and austerity measures?

Absolutely….

So you are a war-time prime minister!

The one Australia needs!

And you will bring peace?

Hell no! I would lose my job…

The Economy continued....

So Prime Minister, you promised not to increase taxes or introduce new ones….

Have you forgotten about core promises and non-core promises?

I think you said they were a thing of the past!

Some things are set in stone.

Like core promises?

No, I mean “core promises and non-core promises”…

So this is politics. Does that mean it is OK to lie?

No I think people wouldn’t like that… but you can’t  always tell people what is good for them…

So you lie to them?

No, but it is OK to scare people shitless…

What do you mean by that? Is that policy?

I’m not sure… I just thought of it…

To be continued…
