“Oh, I’m sensitive am I Michelle? I am standing here looking so sensitive aren’t I – furrowed brow, worried? How sensitve do I look Michelle? You ought to go and get a new prescription,” he told her

I do believe I heard today Costello telling Sam, I assume Maiden, that he loves her, he really does.

I am sure Michelle is endeared. Yet she, unlike another, will continue to provide vision, perspective not available to the unspectacular journalists and reporters who have yet to realise that the Australian world has changed.

Particularly unilluminating, Chris Ullman, rounding at the end of the Budget, saying that the Treasurer needs to send a big thank you to China. Cannot imagine that he would be saying that to the olden days Treasurer.

What a way to gain their (our) support for your little movement,

Mate, your side of the debate includes people like Senator Cory Bernardi who don’t even recognise that the Queen is Australia’s Head of State.

You’re in with morons of that sort, so I don’t think you are in much of a position to lecture others on the popularity of their cause.

As it happens I am getting an equal amount of pleasure in the figure that shows support for the monarchy is at 42%, up 6% from a similar poll in January last year.

ShowsOn, clearly not enjoying the latest polls on a republic as much as I.

Oh I’m getting a lot of enjoyment from you consoling yourself by focusing on a demographic that doesn’t have any voting rights. It is a group that probably includes a significant proportion that has no idea what the difference between a monarchy and a republic is.

I am getting further enjoyment from the presence of the word “Lord” in your screen name.
