Well done Ppruners, barely a curse or a dustup throughout. Brava, well done...
The Bar Room Barristers came up with a serious question: will/can the lower house get involved in the Senate Inquiry into Pel Air?
The wondering about what the ICAO, FAA, CAA etc. think of it all; if at all, was interesting. There is however you spin it, a fairly large blot on the ministers copy book after all, quite embarrassing really. Then there is the messy, expensive clean up to follow. Perhaps some questions without notice in the Parliament would provide an entertaining result.
The vote was a stalemate by the by, but a jolly good time was had by all.
Later, a couple of overseas guests gave some hilarious imitations of various characters and a couple of most excellent limericks; "A dozy young pot plant called Martin" was a show stopper; then a bloke about 49 accompanied himself on an accordion while the troops practiced German folk dances to a robust rendition of "when the Skull Screams" to the tune of Rock a bye Baby, on the tree top. Someone did a Shakespeare knock off on "As you like it" (with a rabbit theme). "No Oleo, this is a family show; OK, later, if you're very good": aside – sotto voce "I wonder if he's related to Gobbles, every now and then, there's a look about him; lean and hungry like".
