Reference :- We tried to pretend he doesn't exist . But Barnaby Joyce is back .

 Reference :-  Sky News believes that  Barnaby Joyce will save the National Party .  They must have forgotten that women won the right to vote over a century ago.  

The other night we watched two political commentators being interviewed by Sky News regarding the return of Mr Barnaby Joyce to his old job as leader of the National Party and Deputy PM .  

When I commented that the Nationals must have forgotten that women won the right to vote a century or more ago , Gabbo reminded me that only white women were conceded voting rights back then .  Non -whites had to wait another three generations .  

" Jeez Gabbo ,  don't be too critical . It would have taken time to process the paperwork back then . They didn't have Roneo machines like we use now . " , I said . 

Anyway , the point is ....... Will women of the female gender vote for a disgraceful old adulterer  just because he claims to have " learned his lesson " ? 

Naturally we always turn to Sky News to help us answer these difficult questions . As luck would have it , Sky anchor Vic Morrow was interviewing some suitably conservative , heavily bearded white chap who views Barnaby favorably . But he also interviewed  the lovely young commentator , Daisy Cousens , about Barnaby's return . 

Daisy is one of the countries leading intellectuals , although  I know that isn't saying much . She is a delight to watch , since she subtly combines the warm jocularity of Bronwyn Bishop with the wardrobe of Carmen Miranda and the stylish patois of Kath and Kim . 

So here is what Daisy had to say about Barnaby .  

Nothing . Nil  . Nought . Zip . Sweet Fanny Adams . 

Daisy usually revels in the strident vibrations of her own vocal chords .  But there she was with her mouth firmly clammed shut . Her pursed lips remained  as grimly horizontal as the graph of Australia's  Covid vaccine rollout . 

But as Gabbo pointed out , it was her eyes that were doing the talking .  If it had been greenhouse gases pouring from her eyes instead of pure hatred , the human race would be extinct  already . 

We don't see much of the PM lately .  I suspect he may be trying to figure out a way to shoot Barnaby off  to some far flung place as foreign ambassador .  Probably one of the moons of Jupiter .  I mentioned this to Gabbo . 

" Maybe Scott Morrison should see if he can commandeer  Jeff Bezos'  rocket before the stupid thing blows up and blast Barnaby into space.  "  , Gabbo said . 

,  " Why did you call the rocket stupid ? "  ,  I said 

 " For starters , it looks like a giant phallus . " ,  Gabbo said . 

 " Give the man a break Gabbo .  Bezos just got divorced , and he is probably feeling insecure . "  I said . 

   Gabbo is inclined to become heartless when he watches too much Sky News .
