Oh, Andrew Bolt, you kidder you.

Stephen Mayne has been onto this story for a while, and for once he’s close to the truth. Given that I’m told he’s planning to write about this again, probably as soon as this morning, I want to say something here first before he does.

This is it for the blog, at least for now. I can’t pre-empt the announcement that my local member and friend, Peter Costello, is about to make, but it would clearly be a conflict of interest for me to continue to write about politics here if I’ve privately agreed to become a player.

That’s the lamest April Fool’s joke since another joke of a blogger pulled his lame April Fool’s joke last year. I’m onto you. Jeremy is onto you.

Giveaways:

1) The post was published at 12:03am.
2) As if you’d not “pre-empt the announcement that my local member and friend, Peter Costello, is about to make” by doing just that.
3) As if you’d get preselection over Michael Kroger, Julian Sheezal and Prodos.

Nice try, fool.
