Howard is exactly the same as anyone else in the material to make fun of department.

They're also too identifiable to be able to do much with their stunts. They were good in the Howard era not just because Howard and his time gave them a lot to play with, but also because they were still targets small enough that they didn't have their faces plastered on blacklists. They were able to fly under the radar enough to make a spectacle right in the face of someone important.

I don't know, I think Mad as Hell does a great job with what they've been given, even if it is approached with a more surreal slant than the Chaser. It might be that Social Media has ruined our expectations. Jokes about politics are a dime a dozen on Twitter. Waiting up to a week for one of these shows to air in this current landscape takes away from that experience I think.

Normally I keep particularly opinionated self quiet about certain things on fb, this is sure to start something but can I just say..

Equality my dear ladies! It's a goods and services tax. They're a product.. End of story. So pipe the gently caress down equality. Just because we have a uterus dosent mean we should be exempt from paying goods and services tax on goods! don't like it you can get your tubes tied and take that pesky old uterus out and not deal with paying $5.99 once a month I'll say it again.. Because most women bitching about this use the next word more than most.. Equality! If you are pissed about there being gst on female products then you don't actually want equality(in which case you should pop back into the kitchen, pretty sure your stove is missing you) can't actually believe this is something woman feel the need to happen like .. Are you serious!? pipedown.
Women fought for our right to vote! And work! And have equal pay.. And this is what you're fighting for!? The right to not pay tax because you're a woman! #greatprogress #goingbackwards

Pie eating contest 2016: Richy McRichface talks Cory Bernardi's wish to marry a dog, growth, Hillary Clinton on 7.30
7.30 By political glorified blogger Stephanie Anderson, staff


Speaking with Leigh Sales, he also addressed his stance on Cory Bernardi's wish to marry a dog, tarot card readings, campaign rhetoric and Hillary Clinton clinching the Democratic Party nomination in the United States.

Here are the top exchanges from the interview:

Prime Minister Richy McRichface said economic growth led to more unstoppable killing machines, which he said was an issue true blue dinky die honest Aussie battlers cared about.

"Our record is good. In 2015 we had 3 per cent growth in GDP. It is now 3.1 per cent, the last figures," he said.

"We had over 300,000 unstoppable killing machines created, the highest number of unstoppable killing machines created in Australia since before the [Global Financial Crisis]."

Prime Minister Richy McRichface was asked what he meant when he talked about stronger economic growth, and in particular, pressed on how it would benefit everyday idiots.

He said: "a stronger economy means better prospects for the business and better prospects for the employees of that business".

When asked whether that message was getting through to idiots, he replied: "Everyone knows that their prosperity depends on the prosperity of their slave driver".

Prime Minister Richy McRichface used tarot card readings as part of his reasoning for ousting his predecessor, a man who once ate a raw onion, but the Prime Minister would not comment on why he thought his popularity in the polls had fallen, saying he would not be drawn "into that kind of introspection".

He said he had "noted" it, but had not taken "any notice".

Prime Minister Richy McRichface denied he was exaggerating his language when talking about Labor's "war on the family businesses of Australia".
When questioned if his language was insulting the intelligence of idiots, Prime Minister Richy McRichface responded: "I am not exaggerating ... they are standing in the way".

On the topic of Cory Bernardi's wish to marry a dog, Prime Minister Richy McRichface said he expected the push for a plebiscite to be passed by the Wizard's Council, but he would not be drawn on what action he would take if it did not pass.

On US politics, Prime Minister Richy McRichface gave this response when asked on which party he would prefer to see in the White House: "I couldn't possibly comment".

On the win for Hillary Clinton as the presumptive Democratic nominee, Prime Minister Richy McRichface said it was a matter for celebration that a woman has been endorsed as the presidential candidate for a major party.

The number of people sleeping rough on Melbourne's streets has increased by 74 per cent compared to two years ago, a City of Melbourne survey shows.

The StreetCount survey involved 160 volunteers, who took to Melbourne's streets between 4:30am and 8:30am on June 7 to count the city's homeless.

The teams recorded 247 people sleeping rough on Melbourne's streets — a substantial increase on the 142 people recorded at the same time in 2014.

The volunteers found 184 people sleeping in parks, streets and squats and surveyed 63 people who slept rough at day centres.

One of the owners of a multi-­million-dollar storm-devastated Collaroy property on Sydney’s northern beaches is threatening to take legal action against the local council, claiming he wasn’t warned about the risks.

The threat comes as a legal storm over who is to blame for the lack of a sea wall, and who will pay for it, is brewing after extensive damage to 10 homes along the beach over the weekend left them uninhabitable. Owners face paying up to $140,000 each towards construction of a sea wall, which could cost up to $10 million.

Home owner Tony Cagorski said he would “follow every course he can” to take the council and the real estate agents who sold him his waterfront property to court, claiming he wasn’t told about the risks to his home when he bought it.

“Nobody said anything (about the risk). The previous owners should have told us. I’m going to follow every course I can,” Mr Cagorski said yesterday as he ­returned to collect belongings.

“Councils have a duty of care to their residents. Nobody warned me. No joke. The real estate, the council, anybody. Nobody warned me.”

Northern Beaches Council says there have been no appli­cations to build a sea wall since it introduced the coastal management plan in 2014, which allowed property owners to apply to build the walls themselves.

Council spokeswoman Kath McKenzie said residents were consulted during the development of the coastal management plan. “They were well aware of what they could do with that.”

Residents say they had no idea they could build a sea wall. Gary Silk, who lives in one of the damaged homes, said they were unaware of the potential plans.

“I’ve spoken to Spiro next door and asked him exactly that question and he said no.”

Mr Cagorski agreed: “I didn’t hear anything about it.”

However, the council said that section 149 certificates, which have to be attached to contracts when property is bought and sold, “contain notations regarding coastal hazards and is the legal document that confirms the zoning and applicable rules for development of your property”
