Brotherly Love?

Well things seem to be going from bad to worse for the Coalition. Following on from Mad Monk’s manic Wednesday it now seems that brothers Peter and Tim C have differing opinions regarding politics!

The Reverend Tim C, the World Vision head honcho, has publicly declared who he will be voting for at the next election and it ain’t for younger bro’ Pete’s party!

It should be said that voting is an individual decision that us lucky voters have to make. However, it doesn’t look good if your vote is going to the opposite party to that of your own kin! To be fair to Tim he has justified his decision by stating that, in his view, the ALP’s foreign aid policy is better than that of the Coalition.

I would love to be a fly on the wall at the next family get together for the Costello’s. Maybe Pete can learn some choice phrases from his buddy Mad Monk Abbott to use while eating the Sunday roast!

In other news Little Johnny has been trying to shore up the grey vote (of which he certainly is one) and also keeping a very low profile, which is strange given that the election is just over three weeks away.

In ALP land the juggernaut continues to roll on and on and on. Crusty old Bob (mine’s a yard glass) Hawke has been traipsing the streets of Wentworth trying to help out the ALP candidate (Sam Newhouse) in his battle against the somewhat ‘headless chook’ Malcolm Turnbull. Apparently a lot of G’day’s were heard on the streets of Double Bay by the silver haired ex PM!

Until the next instalment….
