The holy Australian budget

Hope you are all as blessed as we were by this story.

There once was a man named Tony Abbott, he was a wannabee priest  in a country called Australia and he was telling a story about what happened to him some months ago. This is that story.

"I was walking through town yesterday when I saw a truck coming toward me, there was a sign on it which said electors that don't count, on the back was a large cage.
On the bottom of the cage were three people one was an old aged pensioner, one was an unemployed person and the other was a disabled pensioner, shivering with cold and fright.

I stopped the truck and asked, "What do you have there, son?"

"Just some old electors," said the driver.

"What are you going to do with them?" I asked.

I'm going to take 'em home and have fun with 'em," said the driver. "I'm gonna tease 'em with promises and pull out the rug from under them. "I'm gonna have a real good time."said the driver.

I thought for a moment and realised, what a great idea, maybe I could do something similar.
I knew I'd get tired of these people but I can always pretend I care.

I thought I'll buy them, so I offered to buy them.

"When you get tired of them what will you do, asked the driver.?"They're just plain old electors. They don't sing. They ain't even pretty!"

I told him I could find a use for them.
I thought,  I can use them, in a couple of years, they all have very short memories and at the next election they'll vote for me again.

How much will you give me for them said the truck driver? Hoping for a big profit.

Not very much I'm afraid I said, because I knew I could buy middle class voters very cheap, they always believe everything I say before the next election I thoight.

I'll just take them of your hands. I said because no one else wants them but me.

The truck driver was silent for a moment, then he agreed.


In another world there was a story being told:

One day Satan and Jesus were having a conversation.  Satan had just come from watching a budget television show, and he was gloating and boasting.

"Yes, sir, I just caught a country full of people down there.  Set me a trap, I used a new type of bait, I call it Tony Abbott, I knew they couldn't resist.  Got 'em all the whole lot of them, it was so easy all I needed was the bait to tell lies and he was so good at it!"
