Currawongs are indeed magnificent, but they are not as cool as Magpies. Magpies are the jazz musicians of the bird world!

Mr Lovely Dog – very, very good.
And do I detect an air of ‘enthusiast’ with Ms Grattan? I think so.
You have completed me – again.

“Because what IS Wayne Swan afraid of ?”
Doggy, I think you should be congratulated for being the most interesting budget event this year. You cut to the very heart of the matter – taxis, currawongs, lifts, a surplus of red wine and staring across the chamber at Christopher Pyne’s dome.
I think it’s a very Zen budget. Oh, grasshopper, see the tree bends in the wind ….. Can’t wait to see how the mad monk responds tomorrow night. Latex figures accusations are not going to fascinate much of an audience beyond Bob Santamaria – and he’s a tough gig, these days.
My prediction for the mystery caller …….. I see Red, I see Red, I see Red ……..PF !
And so the true truth about who FD was wagging his tale at in parliament finally comes out. Shock! Horror!! It was someone called Therese.
Meanwhile….
From a distant parliamentary office…..
Comes the piteous sound of a broken hearted powerfox……
Quietly sobbing and swearing, that she’ll never shop at David Jones again.
