Interview with The Versace Boys

The Versace Boys were born in the back of a gold-plated Porsche parked at the Versace Palace on the Goldie. They grew up only eating with silver spoons and often crashing expensive automobiles their parents bought for them. They realised young that they weren’t only made for the world of fashion but that they could also write sick bangers.

Behind Paul Watson

The accusation of Paul Watson being ‘a traitor to the cause’ of marine conservation is possibly the most ludicrous...

I note that Morrison, amazingly and totally out of character, admitted to a couple of mistakes when under pressure at a recent press conference in Canberra.

Having regard to the totality of mistakes and lies made by the Prime Incompetent, these two admissions, of themselves, are of no consequence, a mere ripple in the ocean of lies and stuff ups made by him. However, these acknowledgements are a start and maybe Scotty and his opinion pollsters have decided that the appearance of an honest, fib-free, humble PM would be a novel and perhaps welcome change for an electorate fed nothing but lies, fabrications and dissembling deceit by the current incumbent. They may even see it as a vote winner.

If my assumption is correct, expect several mea culpas a day. If the polls improve, perish the thought, we could end up with hundreds a week, in which case beware; if there is one thing worse than a smirking liar it is a smirking convert.

  1. Still waiting to hear an apology for the hundreds that have died in The Killing Fields that is aged care settings – aged care is regulated and funded by the Prime Incompetent. Sending in the Defence Forces, 2 years after the pandemic began, you can’t make this stuff up if you tried. Instead of photo ops at the hairdresser and assaulting that lady’s hair, maybe Scotty could get over to an aged care establishment and show us his stuff, no make that ‘stuffup’.
