in the chimp tree...

 

gaze

The Deputy Leader, Julie Bishop, hit back by telling her party room the character assassination of Abbott was entirely predictable, and in question time a Liberal backbencher, Kelly O'Dwyer, denounced the ''handbag hit squad'' of Labor women who led attacks against Abbott.

It was a catchy phrase, and elicited amusing images of Tanya Plibersek and Nicola Roxon using their Louis Vuitton totes (or are they cross-the-body satchel types?) to wallop enemies.
The Deputy Speaker, Anna Burke, who is stuck in a nightmare of unknowable length until the Speaker, Peter Slipper, returns and relieves her from her post, could have done with a handbag-size weapon, or at the very least a hip flask in her handbag, to help control her charges.

Looking at my toon effort, I can say it's a very poor imitation of a full-blown caricature... The hair style is totally wrong and the smile needs more canine teeth in it... Now I remember — as the lazy bastard I am, I have borrowed the hair and the mouth from my toon of Ms Coonan with some distorting tweaks... See on this site: http://www.yourdemocracy.net.au/drupal/node/1153... Those were the early days... For this montage I used pictures (published at the SMH) under the fair exploitation of stuff for satirical purpose, regulated by monkey kingdom coinage.

of blokes and sheilas...

Just when we thought business was returning to usual, with Opposition questions about the carbon tax, things took an unexpectedly sexist turn.
The Liberal National MP Scott Buchholz, asked to table a carbon tax-inflated electricity bill, something the manager of government business, Anthony Albanese, doesn't usually allow. This time, Albanese made an exception, on account of the fact that Buchholz was a ''good bloke'', he said.
The manager of opposition business, Christopher Pyne, sputtered into life. ''Bloke is a sexist word!'' he shrieked, and rose to make a point of order.
''The member opposite referred to [Buchholz] as a 'bloke'. I put it to you, if I described one of the members over there as a 'sheila', I'd be accused of making a sexist remark so I ask him to withdraw it!''
At which point Labor backbencher, Darryl Melham, shouted to Pyne, rather unhelpfully: ''Sit down ya sheila!''
Which was either sexist against men, or women, or both. It's so hard to tell now.
