Eyes Peeled , Glum Bunch With Banana Republic Message
|
PAUL KEATING'S WARNING that Australia is in danger of
becoming a banana
republic is coming true . It has just
been revealed that
the Abbott Government has long planned
to turn the country
into the ugly twin of the South American country , Brazil, where large sections of the populace,
like our own banana state,
Queensland , are currently calling for the
sacking of the
government, instead of dancing in the streets
. Tony Abbott and his
dynamic team in their pre-election brochure, above, cunningly boasted they had REAL
SOLUTIONS FOR ALL AUSTRALIANS . What they did
not
say is that the REAL is the weak currency of Brazil- known in the
money changing trade
as the BRL - which
is worth less than the Aussie dollar , a million of
our bucks worth more
than two million REALS. Thus
PM Abbott is one hundred percent
truthful when he now
insists his government is honouring all of its (codlin moth) core promises , especially in relation
to education expenditure , except that it
is secretly denominated in BRLs ,
not AUD terms . Dreary economists expect
this clever clause
in the Coalition
policy statement will soon
see many
workers in Australia
joyously singing the Banana
Boat Song .
Meanwhile , members of the Abbott
Government’s Cheer Squad at The Australian newspaper have
stopped wearing Junior Chamber of Commerce
suits and now sport orange trousers
,
lairy shirts and do Peter
Allen imitations , flashing their castanets ,
shaking their
hips like Clive Palmer ,
kicking up their legs , in the expectation
they will
be flown
to Rio in a VIP
jet for a wedding or
three. Latest Canberra
tip is that
jivey Foreign Minister , Julie
Bishop , will fly to Rio in
the Leap Year
to take part
in a Samba
Marathon with Hugh Jackman.
