Falsies!

Justin's knocked the Trump hair for six in the strangeness stakes. 

What sort of bloke wears false eyebrows?

And it's HRH The Duke of Edinburgh's real birthday - 97 and he looks like there's a few more in him too.

Lisa's very chummy with our next PM Bill and his 1st Lady Chloe!

We learned that Bill wants to be PM "a great deal".

But he doesn't want the job just for himself. 

Bill only wants to be PM to help billions (he said it) of our fellow Australians have a better quality of life.  

At home, Bill helps out by doing the grocery shopping while Chloe does the cooking.

Chloe thinks Bill is cute.

Bill doubts Chloe's sense of humour.

It was all sweetness and vaso-lenses for Bill and Chloe.

The shade and balance came from lining up Michaelia Cash.

Lisa managed to get a fair slab of Michaelia Cash's performance from last February at Senate Estimates into Bill's promo video.

That's when Bill, Lisa and Chloe got to hook in to Michaelia about her evil reference to rumours about Bill's women.

Bill said he didn't want to give those unworthy comments any oxygen at all.  

Well maybe he did want to give them a little bit.  

It turned out to be a fair bit actually.  

Bill went on about why powerful women shouldn't denigrate women.  

And by the time they'd done Michaelia over, there was no time to talk about why powerful men shouldn't denigrate women either. 

Gotta give Bill one thing - he's very good at keeping a straight and earnest face.

Maybe it's something with the music, but I think this expose gives us a bit more of the real Bill.

This morning Barnaby Joyce recorded a couple of videos of a paparazzi photographer who'd been staking him out.

Guy Finlay from Matrix Picture Agency accused Barnaby of "sizing him up" outside church - he seems to think Barnaby was going to thump him.  

This afternoon The Australian reported that Finlay's employer, Matrix Picture Agency is considering filing an assault report with police against Barnaby.

Here are the videos:

Coming out of church, guess who is hiding in the bushes taking photos, yet won’t give his name or who he works for pic.twitter.com/YNi4hRj4qU

Matrix Picture Agency is a UK agency with a branch in Australia - here's how they see themselves:

Classy hey.

Photographers are a fact of life for people like Barnaby - and angry subjects are a fact of life for paparazzi photographers.

It does appear to be pretty unwise of Barnaby to follow the bloke around throwing questions at him, but sometimes there really is no justice.

If the police come calling for Barnaby over for church blue today, how did the perennially protected former AWU chief, slush fund operative and Gillard accessory Bruce Wilson get away with this!

...now what does that remind me of?????.....

From reader and former Detective Sergeant Doubtful John.

SARAH FERGUSON, PRESENTER: Hello and Welcome to Four Corners.

Tonight, we begin our special 3-part investigation into the story of the century - the election of US President Donald Trump and his ties to Russia.

It starts with a road trip across America in 2014...... two Russian spies were criss-crossing the country, gathering intelligence on the US political system, looking for and finding vulnerabilities.

From Spiegel

Putin's operation to disrupt the presidential election began back in the summer of 2014, when Russia dispatched two spies .....they traveled with cameras from Nevada through California and then back to New York via Illinois and Michigan in their quest for vulnerabilities 

4 Corners wouldn't have had much of a show without the flamboyant Felix Sater.  His name appears 74 times in their transcript.

Der Spiegel tells us this:

 Jetton, Abramson and Dworkin are....almost like dealers. Without them, people wouldn't know what Trump's lawyers think at night. Without them, pieces would be missing from the Russia puzzle. Without them, the whole affair would also be less entertaining.

Jetton's phone starts vibrating... a reporter from BuzzFeed is looking for contact information for Felix Sater, a former business partner of Trump. Sater is one of the figures often at center stage in this tangled affair. He has known Trump for years and boasts that he arranged a visit to the Kremlin for his daughter Ivanka, during which she was allowed to sit on Vladimir Putin's chair.

"I'll send him a message," Jetton tells the BuzzFeed reporter. Three minutes later, he gets a text message from Sater on his mobile phone. "Felix and I are friends," says Jetton, smiling pleasantly.

Sater slipped into the Russian scandal in the form of an email he sent to Trump lawyer Michael Cohen at the end of 2015. In it, Sater wrote that he wanted to sway the election in Trump's favor with the help of Cohen and Putin.

"I will get all of Putin's team to buy in on this," he wrote.

There it is in the 4 Corners report too.  

The similarities and sources don't end there.

Nice to know we have a $1BN PA taxpayer funded ABC riding on the coat tails of previously reported salacious stories first published by bloggers in the US.

Their ABC calls the story "Secrets, Spies and Useful Idiots".

Quite. 

As Gerard Henderson might say, can you bear it?

Tony featured at a book launch today:

...where he was asked if he'd run for PM again......

Tony Abbott outlines what he would fix if he was PM again

Accepting his fate rested in the hands of his party room and Sydney electorate, Mr Abbott said he was “here to serve in whatever capacity I can serve.”

The former Liberal prime minister was asked if he would run again by a staffer from the Kyle and Jackie O radio show towards the end of the launch of a new book, How political correctness is destroying Australia, by education commentator Kevin Donnelly.

Speaking in Sydney, Mr Abbott said he was in the hands of voters from his northside electorate Warringah, and then in the hands of his party.

He did not mention Malcolm Turnbull by name, or suggest he would seek to displace Mr Turnbull from office.

Asked to nominate one thing he would “fix” if prime minister again, Mr Abbott picked two.

“Let’s try to do some things that we can and must,” he said. “We could take the pressure off the cost of living by doing something about power prices … the next thing we could do is slow down the rate of immigration, because while we’ve got stagnant wages and soaring house prices and short of infrastructure, why are we adding 250,000 people to our population? It’s just mad.

“Unfortunately if you touch on these things you are a climate change denier, and you are anti-immigrant. It is a suffocating political correctness that has descended over so much of our common sense.”
