BY JOVES, ITS JEEVES


A  much  needed  touch  of  class  has  been introduced  into  Queensland’s rough and tumble politics  with the  appointment  of  a   Pommie   butler  called  Jeeves  for  Premier Campbell  Newman  .  One  of  our  photographers  caught   Jeeves , right,  nervously  peeping out of  a  window  at  a  large demo  by  angry  workers.  Jeeves  is  a  foundation  member of the Jersey Cow Society  in  Britain , proudly wears its badge on  his coat,  loves English  roast  beef  , but  is willing  to  try  the  whopper  steaks  they  serve  in  Rockhampton .  In an exclusive  interview with   this  blog, Jeeves  said  he will use a  #10 bastard  file to  take  some of the rough edges  off  several of the  LNP members .  He  strongly defended his appointment ,saying that since the government announced the contestability  test  for  the people’s assets  so that they can be flogged  off, staff numbers reduced, it  had  been   flooded  with  interstate and  overseas  groups wanting  to get part of  the action.  Giving this horde  finger  food  , such  as  truffles, caviar  and  bugs, kept  him  flat out, the  Premier  frequently needing  to   be brushed   down , his  tie  straightened , fingernails  checked.
