Opposition Leader Lawrence Springborg dances with a clown.
Feeding the chooks.
About to drill though his own hand.
Why is Nick Xenophon so Popular ?
Nick X is popular because.. of stunts!
Nick X and his goat "Zorba".
Nick X campaigning against politician's free rail travel.
Nick X's TV ad showing puppets of the two SA leaders drinking and saying how they can't stand Nick X.
Nick X and "Maxi the Wonder Dog" protest the government's backdown on anti-smoking laws.
Unfortunately I couldn't find the picture of Nick driving a toy car that he used on his election posters.
Also I couldn't find a picture of him walking around Rundle Mall with a Sandwich board that said "Thank You".
Spot the President
The Polish President and Prime Minister are Identical Twins..
The president is the one on the left. (I think).
The Prime Minister still lives at home with their Mum. Both are former child stars who share a last name with the Unabomber.
The World's Hottest Prime Minister
The World's Hottest Prime Minister is..
No..
No..
Yes - our winner is Yulia Tymoshenko, Prime Minister of Ukraine from 24 January to 8 September 2005.
She is:
A Billionaire (Self Made)
A PhD in Economics
An Orange Revolutionary
Leader of her own political party, The Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc, that has 129 seats in parliament.
The Speaker managed to sneak into the tallyroom on election night.
Below is a picture of the full tallyboard. Walking towards me talking on his mobile is
National Party Senate Leader Ron Boswell.
I could hear him saying "It looks like we've lost Gaven but picked up Whitsunday".
They lost both of them.
Election legend Antony Green hosting his usual ABC election panel. This guy loves elections
so much even his last name is a political party.
"Brokeback" Big Brother contestant David, an incongruous National Party supporter, watches the count.
Wherever Liberal Party powerbroker and losing member for Chatsworth Michael Caltabiano went,
a Media Scrum materialised.
A close-up of the Tallyboard. It looks like the Liberals won Currumbin
because Green preferences exhausted. Maybe the ALP will get rid of optional
preferencing now that it no longer benefits them.
Opposition Leader Lawrence Springborg delivering his concession speech. He miscounted how
many kids he had and his wife corrected him. Everyone laughed. He had a personality tonight.
Liberal leader Bruce Flegg also gave a concession speech. He ummed and aahed his way
through it clumsily. I didn't bother taking a picture of him.
Bruce Flegg
Peter Beattie delivering his Victory speech. He's a man of many faces. The
School Teacher, the "this is really serious" face, the Joker. Tonight was his
humble face. I admire Peter Beattie. He's a talented liar. I wish I could lie like him.
Peter Beattie and the Premier at the next election Anna Bligh give an interview
on a panel program.
The ABC radio team dominated the room. They were headed by former
Doug Anthony All Stars guitar player Richard Fidler.
I could see that one of the ABC Radio people had a hand drawn sketch on their desk, so
I leaned over the railing and put my zoom on max and took a picture of it. (This is true).
When I got home I used a paint program to adjust the picture. It's amazing what you can do.
Then I was reading the Courier Mail on Monday and behold, there was the picture.
It came to
me in a flash - Sean Leahy is really Richard Fidler!
