The Shark Initiative

Laura Tingle’s article in today’s (14 Aug) AFR pretty much nails it. It’s all about the current coalition government which she says has well and truly jumped the shark.

Well she didn’t use that term but she may as well have.

And on the subject…

What would be truly entertaining would be a Tony Abbott-led multi billion dollar shark initiative aiming to address the outrageous situation where the lives of sharks are being put ahead of the lives of humans.

It’d be inspired wedge politics.

Who knows, sharks might also be into same sex marriage, people smuggling (or parts thereof), ISIS (the international state of iniquitous sharks) and cannabilism.

Alan Jones would certainly get behind any scheme to cull sharks since the Greenies would hate it.

I can foresee a scheme where unemployed fisher folk, destitute due to over fishing, are paid to kill sharks.

Of course it could go the way of the pink batts scheme if some of the fisher folk themselves got eaten in the course of duty.

Let’s hope Tony hangs in until the next election!
