Two for One

In a breathtakingly bold move today the Prime Minister acted to defuse two of the major issues which were 'on the nose' with the Australian electorate.

Following the success of North Korea in gaining billions of dollars of concessions from the West in return for dismantling its nuclear program, the PM has announced that he will abandon his desire to build 25 nuclear reactors in Australia in return for one simple concession from the U.S.; the release of David Hicks from Guantanamo Bay.

"It seems our longstanding acquiescence in the torture of an Australian citizen has not gone down well with Australians," he said.

I thought we had moved on from these silly notions of a 'fair go' and 'mateship', at least for those we have been working overtime to paint as dangerous terrorists," he lamented.
