Stop the presses! All is well in the Liberal Party.
Christopher Pyne is full of confidence for the future:
Mr Pyne’s monologue - proclaimed in a voice many decibels louder than the hubbub in the dining room at the Jewel of India - made it clear he regarded his leader’s Gippsland strategy as a joke.
“Gippsland will be our Aston!” Mr Pyne declared theatrically.
Good for you, Liberals! You do your darndest to win that by-election!
“First Gippsland, then the Lodge!” Mr Pyne continued, parodying his leader.
That’s the spirit!
It was impossible for anyone else in the crowded restaurant, including this reporter, not to overhear Mr Pyne’s remarks, so loudly were they delivered.
It’s terrific that Pyne is so full of confidence and enthusiasm! Why, he wants to share it with an entire restaurant! He wants to share it with the nation!
Never stop your good work, Christopher Pyne. Your party needs more men like you.
Thanks to Steve.

he may be a silver spoon brat with an annoying downer’esque accent but he deserves to be angry after his own party tried to smear him as a gay sex bathroom kinda man

It’s even more effective if you imagine the words being spoken by Pyne’s sniveling, whiney voice.

He was so loud because he was drunk!

He was drunk because Nelson had convinced him that his interest rates, petrol prices and grocery bills were all going up and he has a bottle of red washed down with a bottle of cognac at any mention of the above three Nelson favourites.

With the imminent departure of downer, Pyne is set to become the next principle toffee nosed ponce. He really is hard to stomach.

He was so loud because he was choco block full of rent boy - the filthy little Downer-lite

Classic stuff. Why don’t pollies learn Op Sec? They make us do it in the public service.

Check out his amusing web-presence, like the cunningly named ‘Pyne Online‘ or his whiny-arsed Youtube vids.

they’re dead in the water and they know it.
Cheeses the atmosphere in the Liberal caucus room must be like the inside of Hitler’s bunker with the Russians advancing in April ‘45.

Someone should run with that idea and create a 2393rd voice-dub of the last scenes of Downfall.

nice, perhaps splice in some footage from the Hindenberg disaster for artistic effect.

what about the footage of the choppers with “ride of the Valkyries” blaring from Apocolypse Now montaged in there too.
“I love the smell of cum-uppance in the morning”.
