ERROL PARKER | Editor-at-large | Contact Our common-sense Prime Minister has lived up to his self-titled nickname today by telling reporters in Sydney this afternoon that he's not going to tell everyone what his plan is for JobKeeper and Seeker until after the election. Because if he does, they probably won't be voting for him in Eden-Monaro this weekend. "I mean, of...

CLANCY OVERELL | Editor | CONTACT After spending the last month criticising the Black Lives Matters protests for potentially spreading COVID-19 during the 30,000-strong march across the city, the Queensland Government has today opted to simply hide the other civil rights protests taking place in the Brisbane CBD. On the orders of the Premier, Queensland Tourism have today built a kilometre long bamboo fence along...

CLANCY OVERELL | Editor | CONTACT Local off-peak holiday package telemarketer, Bryan (39) says that today's society needs a kick up the arse, and the growing disrespect shown towards our brave men in blue is Un-Australian and disgraceful. "Back in my day... We used to respect authority" says Bryan, referencing the wildly misplaced nostalgia that he holds for non-existent utopia of 1990s Australia, where everyone...

CLANCY OVERELL | Editor | CONTACT 12 months after they somehow managed to lose the 2019 election to the Liberal Party Nightwatchman, the ALP has begun to implement changes to their historically inflexible policy handbook and branding. This review process was accelerated after it became clear that Prime Minister Morrison was only gaining popularity after his horrific mishandling of the December bushfires. The latest Newspoll, conducted...

CLANCY OVERELL | Editor | CONTACT For the first time since Minnesota law enforcement officers killed the unarmed black man George Floyd live on camera 7 days ago, Prime Minister Scott Morrison has today suggested that maybe American police are a little heavy-handed. This comes after a Channel 7 cameraman was punched by riot cops outside the White House last night, while clearing the...

WENDELL HUSSEY | Cadet | CONTACT In a relatable moment this afternoon, our relatable Prime Minister has thrown a bit of rubbish in the bin with a bit of a flourish. Mimicking thousands of blokes who work or used to work in roles where paper or rubbish needs to be thrown in the bin, Scotty from Marketing let out a loud 'Koooobe' today when...

CLANCY OVERELL | Editor | CONTACT After a grim year of loss and tragedy following a record breaking drought that turned into record breaking bushfires, the good people of Eden-Monaro are now staring down the barrel at by-election that also insults their intelligence. This comes after the region’s long-serving Federal Labor MP, Mike Kelly, has ended months of speculation by making the “gut-wrenching” decision...

WENDELL HUSSEY | Cadet | CONTACT In somewhat of a feel-good story from the Coronavirus Crisis, Coalition MP George Christensen has set a new record. The Member for Dawson, or the Member for Manilla, as he is often known has set a new Personal Best for most consecutive days spent in the electorate he is paid very healthily to represent. Christensen, who spent 294...

WENDELL HUSSEY | Cadet | CONTACT In some devastating news from down South, the TV Week Logie Awards have officially been cancelled for 2020. The publisher of TV Week, Bauer Media confirmed last night that the night of nights for Australian on-screeners is the latest casualty of the Coronavirus pandemic. "Particularly for the Berryl's and Cherryl's of this world, we are sorry to reveal...

CLANCY OVERELL | Editor | CONTACT There have been renewed calls from within the deplorables faction of the Liberal Party to defund the ABC today, after yet another news special presented the Federal Government in an unflattering light. Leigh Sales' special interview with former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull on 7:30 seems to have struck a cord with the party, particularly those whose own political...
