QUEENSLAND BANANA BOAT SONG IN COALITION MARITIME FARCE

CANBERRA:  It has just been revealed  Queensland Premier, "Tin  Can  Canoe" Campbell Newman , inspired  the  Coalition's latest brilliant  plan to buy up all  the leaky boats in  the Indonesian   archipelago  to stop the flow  of refugees. Premier  Newman  said the  Queensland economy is  like  el sicko Spain . The Coalition's Dirty  Tricks  Department  thought this  a  wonderful appellation , which could be  used to rubbish the entire nation , despite the fact that Australia is the only OECD country not to sink like Titanic 11 due to the GFC, thanks to the ALP's  classic Keynesian  stimulation of  the  economy to  prevent  a  massive slump.
 
 A  Tory  Think  Tank   mugwump,  Ned   Nasty ,  pointed out  that  to   make  Australia   really  look  like  Spain, it  needed  an  armada  of  ships .   Hence   the   inspired   announcement  by   Tony Abbott   to  buy   750,000  leaky  Indonesian   bumboats.   Part of  this   huge  Spanish   Armada  will be   used  as  targets  for   joint   bombing  exercises  on  the  Great Barrier  Reef  ;  providing   boating  trips  on  Lake  Burley   Griffin ;   lashed   together  to   form  a  pontoon  from  Darwin  to   Mandorah , doing  away  with  the  need to  build  an  expensive   bridge ; cheap  accommodation for  underpaid  457 Visa  workers .   Treasury  has  estimated  the  cost  of  buying   all  the  Indonesian boats   will  be   many  times   greater  than   all  the   gold  the   Spanish  fleets  brought  home  after  Cortes  conquered  and  plundered  Mexico.

Meanwhile , famous Spanish painter , Pablo Picasso, has  kindly  supplied  Little  Darwin  with  this  stunning  impression  of   the  Mad  Monk   fleshing  out  one  of  the  Coalition’s  policies.  Art  experts  will immediately   notice  the  painting   is  a  combination  of   Pablo’s  surrealism ,  Gravox   instant  gravy   and   worker   soup   kitchen   cubist   style , with  a  hidden  message  about the  Guernica like  fate likely to befall  the  nation.
