Unfortunately, there is not much laughter at these truisms, especially when we've been fooled 145.3 times more like never before.

Most (so far all) true blue Australian, to which I barely mention the name "Abbott", turn into a red rage showing signs of strangulation with their hands and kick up an imagined arse with their preferred footy boot... Not a great indication of confidence in the little rat that stole the elections by deceit.
