In today's Australian

Beginning next month, ICAC will investigate the circumstances in which Doyles Creek, which was owned by former union boss John Maitland, a close friend of Mr Macdonald, acquired the licence in the first place.

The Trade Union Party Party Party... And the Minister for Industrial Sabotage...

Environment Minister Tony Burke and Senate leader Stephen Conroy, had accepted free accommodation in the Obeid family lodge at Perisher Valley.

Won't do his green street cred any good, think of the pigmy possums...

Nice to see Eddie acknowledge Leaping Leo McLeay, parliament’s worst cyclist and a reminder that the Office of Speaker is usually a reward for a life of service – to the Party of course.

Oh Comrades come rally….

Arise, ye skiers from your slumber,
Arise, ye telemarkers of want.
For reason in powder snow thunders,
and at last ends the age of Bandt!
Away with all your reputations,
Servile masses, despise, despise!
We’ll change henceforth the old tradition,
And spurn the moghul to win the prize!
So comrades, come rally,
And the last Après-ski let us face.
The Internationale,
Unites the Labor race.
So comrades, come rally,
And the black runs let us face.
The Internationale,
Unites the porcine race

Ha, I just noticed they have ‘digitally altered image’ on the pic above.

As if anyone would mistake it for the real thing.

Everyone knows Conroy wears red underpants on his head when hitting the slopes.

Does anybody remember the late Victor Kiam?

He was the American multi-millionaire whose wife bought him a Remington shaver. His subsequently famous quote was: “I liked the shaver so much, I bought the company.”

It seems that Eddie Obeid is Australia’s Victor Kiam.

He liked the A.L.P. so much, that he bought the Party and got half of their Parliamentarians thrown in as a job lot.

There’s no doubt about it: The A.L.P. is THE BEST party that money could buy!

Just ask Eddie.

I.C.A.C. did!

Brc, a common trap in certain high class Russian and Chinese Motels.
I wonder if they’ve caught any V,VIPs from Australia?

(Oh don’t be like that Winston. It would take an enormous amount of hubris to ignore the security lectures that would be given to all from PM down.)

@thefrollickingmole : the exact same plotline is in the novel ‘Trust Your Enemies’ – leader of the senate has a hotel where he gives out freebies, all duly recorded and used for blackmail.

After reading that book I sometimes wonder how much of it was actually fiction.
