Bloody Flies

Deviating from my fantastic military record for a moment have you ever been bothered by a fly recently? Ever had one crawl on your food, fly past your ear and generally make a real annoyance of themselves? We all have. Now do you want to know who to blame? I blame John Howard and this government and so should you.

Me: "Jumping in Australia is nothing but fun except for the flies. The government stopped the dung beetle program and the flies are back in force in the country."

It never ceases to irk me that we can spend billions on defence, police and the judicial system when we don't have a dung beetle program in operation.
This is as good a time as any to throw my hat in the ring for the next Federal Election. Every time a fly annoys you remember to vote 1 Thom Lyons for PM. If elected I'll install Kerry Nettle as the Minister for Dung Beetles and Bob Brown as the Minister for Dung.
The size of the nation would require us to run big deficits on top of 90% tax rates to run the program effectively but as any smart person knows deficit spending is an investment.
My management experience while an Officer in the RAAF should prove I'm up to the job and we'll hold cabinet meetings in existing facilities at the Aboriginal Tent Embassy.
